Watts 0123495 Valve
The Watts 0123495 is a professional-grade 3/4 inch lead free swing check valve engineered specifically to prevent reverse fluid flow in domestic water and steam systems. As part of the Watts LFWCV series, this valve features a robust lead free brass body that meets all stringent low-lead legislative requirements for potable water installations. Designed for maximum reliability in the field, it utilizes a metal-to-metal seal and a high-integrity PTFE bonnet gasket, ensuring a tight shut-off even in demanding commercial and industrial environments. With a 3/4" NPT threaded connection (female pipe thread), it integrates seamlessly into standard iron pipe size (IPS) piping runs. The Watts LFWCV 3/4 is rated for a working pressure of up to 200 psi (13.8 bar) WOG non-shock and 125 psi (8.6 bar) WSP, providing a low pressure drop design that maintains system efficiency while offering automatic closure the moment fluid flow ceases.
- Lead Free Brass Construction: Ensures compliance with safe drinking water standards, containing less than 0.25% lead by weight on wetted surfaces.
- Metal-to-Metal Seating: Provides a durable, long-lasting seal suitable for both hot water and steam applications without tapering off performance.
- Optimized Flow Dynamics: The swing check design offers minimal resistance to forward flow, reducing energy costs and pump strain.
- High Pressure Resilience: Rated for 200 psi WOG, making it a versatile choice for high-pressure residential and light commercial plumbing.
Common Questions
Can the Watts 0123495 be installed in a vertical orientation?
Yes, this swing check valve can be installed in a vertical position, provided the flow is traveling upward to allow the disc to close via gravity when flow stops. Horizontal installation is preferred for optimal disc seating.
What is the maximum temperature rating for this valve?
While pressure ratings are specific to WOG and WSP, these valves are typically rated for temperatures up to 180°F in water applications, though the PTFE gasket provides additional thermal resilience for steam service up to 125 psi.
Is this valve suitable for backflow prevention on a main service line?
While it prevents reverse fluid flow, it is a single check valve and not a substitute for a reduced pressure zone (RPZ) or double check valve assembly where high-hazard backflow protection is required by local codes.
