Watts 0344276 Valve
The Watts 0344276 Valve, specifically the Model 340-3-150, is a high-capacity automatic reseating temperature and pressure relief valve engineered for heavy-duty commercial hot water supply systems. Designed with a 1.5-inch NPT female inlet and outlet, this ASME rated safety valve manages thermal expansion and overpressure conditions with a standard pressure setting of 150 PSI and a temperature relief point of 210°F. The 340 Series relief valve is built with a rugged bronze body and features a 3-inch stainless steel thermostat to ensure precise response in high-demand environments, such as large boiler tappings and storage tanks. With a massive steam discharge capacity of 6,379,000 BTU/hr, the Watts 340-3-150 provides critical protection against catastrophic tank failure while maintaining system integrity through non-mechanical seat-to-disc alignment and tamper-resistant bonnet screws.
Key Benefits- High-Capacity Protection: Delivers an ASME steam rating of 6,379,000 BTU/hr, making it suitable for large-scale commercial water heaters and boilers.
- Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant bronze body and a stainless steel thermostat probe for long-term reliability in harsh water conditions.
- Automatic Reseating: The valve is designed to close independently after relieving pressure or temperature, minimizing water loss and system downtime.
- Installation Versatility: The 1.5-inch NPT threaded connections allow for direct mounting into tank tappings or supply lines.
- Field Testing: Equipped with a manual test lever to verify valve seat functionality during routine maintenance inspections.
What is the maximum BTU rating for the Watts 340-3-150?
This specific model is rated for a maximum capacity of 6,379,000 BTU/hr for steam discharge, ensuring it meets the safety requirements for high-output commercial heating equipment.
Can this valve be used for steam heating boilers?
No, the Watts 340-3 is a temperature and pressure relief valve specifically designed for hot water supply tanks and heaters. For steam power boilers, a dedicated steam safety valve is required.
What is the thermostat length on this part?
The Watts 0344276 features a 3-inch thermostat probe (measured below the inlet threads) to ensure accurate immersion in the hot water for thermal protection.
