Watts 0276501 Valve
The Watts 0276501 Valve is a high-capacity T&P relief valve designed specifically for heavy-duty commercial hot water supply tanks and heater protection. Featuring a 1 1/2" NPT connection and a robust bronze body, this valve is engineered to handle massive thermal loads with an ASME rating of 2,310,000 BTU/hr. As a critical safety component, it provides automatic temperature and pressure protection, utilizing a 36 PSI pressure relief setpoint and the standard 210°F temperature relief to prevent catastrophic system failure. For the veteran contractor, the Watts 40XL-M3 series (part of the 0276501 configuration) is the reliable choice for large-scale hydronic installations. It features tamper-resistant bonnet screws and a test lever for manual operational checks. The thermostat is equipped with a special thermo-bonded coating to ensure accurate sensing and long-term durability in harsh water conditions. This automatic reseating temperature and pressure relief valve ensures system integrity by independently discharging water when thresholds are exceeded and closing once normal parameters are restored.
Key Benefits
- Maximum Protection: High-discharge 2,310,000 BTU capacity meets stringent ASME Section IV requirements for large commercial boilers.
- Durable Construction: Heavy-duty bronze body and non-mechanical seat-to-disc alignment ensure consistent sealing and corrosion resistance.
- Advanced Thermostat: Features a unique coated thermostat for reliable thermal response and reduced mineral buildup.
- Standardized Fit: 1 1/2" NPT male inlet and female outlet allow for seamless integration into standard high-flow piping systems.
- Field Verifiable: Includes a stainless steel test lever to satisfy routine safety inspection protocols.
Common Questions
What is the primary application for this Watts valve?
This commercial relief valve is intended for high-output hot water heaters and storage tanks where a higher BTU discharge is required by local codes or ASME standards.
Can this valve be used for potable water systems?
Always verify the specific model's lead-free compliance. This specific 0276501 configuration is typically utilized in heating and boiler applications requiring high-capacity pressure relief.
What size discharge line should be installed?
The discharge line must match the 1 1/2 inch outlet size and pitch downward to a visible, safe point of disposal to ensure the automatic reseating function works correctly without backpressure interference.
