Watts 0276050 Valve
The Watts 0276050 is a high-capacity boiler pressure relief valve from the rugged 174A Series, engineered for heavy-duty protection in hot water heating and domestic supply systems. This 1-1/4 inch valve is factory-calibrated to a 125 PSI set pressure, delivering a substantial relief capacity of 5,370,000 BTU/Hr. Built with a durable bronze body and a stainless steel spring, it utilizes a non-mechanical seat-to-disc alignment that prevents sticking or freezing even in harsh, high-temperature environments up to 250°F. The unique design positions the seat above the drain to ensure sediment cannot foul the seal, maintaining a reliable ASME Section IV safety standard for commercial and industrial boiler applications. Contractors favor this model for its FNPT threaded connections and automatic reseating capabilities, which minimize downtime during emergency relief events.
Key Benefits
- High BTU Capacity: Rated for up to 5,370,000 BTU/Hr, making it compatible with large-scale commercial hot water boilers.
- Sediment Resistance: The raised seat design prevents water and mineral deposits from being trapped, ensuring a tight seal after operation.
- Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant bronze body and non-metallic disc-to-metal seating for long-term field reliability.
- Simplified Testing: Equipped with a standard top-mounted test lever for mandatory annual maintenance checks.
- Flood Sensing Compatible: This unit can integrate with SentryPlus Alert technology to detect excessive discharge when used with a compatible sensor kit.
Common Questions
What is the maximum operating temperature for this relief valve?This Watts 174A-125 valve is rated for a maximum temperature of 250°F (121°C), making it suitable for most high-demand hydronic heating systems.
Can this valve be used for potable water systems?No, the 0276050 is a non-lead-free bronze valve and is not compliant with the Safe Drinking Water Act for potable water applications. It is strictly for non-potable hot water heating applications.
Does this valve serve as an operating control?No, this is a safety device designed for emergency pressure relief only. It should never be used as a primary operating control for system pressure.
