General Information
Ensuring Practical, Safe Working Water Pressure
Water pressure reducing valves have
been in use since 1874, when Watts
regulators were used to reduce the
pressure of incoming water to industrial
operations. Subsequently, they have
been adapted for residential and commercial use.
The most important and practical reason that water pressure reducing valves
(WPRVs), also known as pressure regulators, are used is protection against the
effects of high water main pressures.
Municipal and private water supply companies use pumps and pumping stations
to boost water supply pressures in supply mains in order to supply water for fire
fighting, to overcome loss of pressure as
the elevation increases in high rise buildings, and to maintain water supply in
water towers and supply tanks. Pressure
in water supply mains can exceed
200psi.
Most plumbing codes require water pressure reducing valves on domestic systems where the municipal water mains
pressure exceeds 80psi. Higher pressures could rupture pipes, damage fixtures, and injure the people using them.
Pilot-Operated Valve
Direct-Acting Valve
How Does a Watts Direct Acting Water Pressure Reducing Valve Work?
Water pressure regulators are installed
in series directly after the water meter
in homes, commercial buildings, and
manufacturing plants. The water pressure
reducing valve automatically reduces the
pressure from the water supply main to
a lower, more sensible pressure. Water
entering the valve from municipal mains
is constricted within the valve body and
directed through the inner chamber; this
inner chamber is controlled by an adjustable spring-loaded diaphragm and disc.
Even if the supply water pressure fluctuates, the pressure reducing valve ensures
a constant flow of water at a functional
pressure (as long as the supply pressure
does not drop below the valves pre-set
pressure).

NOTICE
The bypass feature will not prevent the
pressure relief valve from opening on
the hot water supply system with pressures above 150psi.
For example, imagine you want to create a working pressure of 50psi within
a building with a flow rate of 35 to 40
gpm, and a reduced pressure fall-off of
20psi, working with a supply water pressure of 150psi. Using Table I, on page 4
(example 1), you would choose to use a
1" Watts LF25AUB-Z3.

For average installations and applications, the capacities shown at 20psi fall-off are recommended since statistics show that typical
demands are well within the total sized capacity of the system. Capacities at 15, 10, and 5psi are offered for comparison and where a lesser
fall-off is needed or required for maximum performance or a specific application.
Parallel Installation
The parallel installation makes use of
two or more smaller size water pressure
reducing valves serving a large size supply pipe main (see Table III on page 5
for reference). This approach should be
used wherever there is a wide variation
of reduced pressure requirements such
as an apartment building where demand
could be .5 gpm at 1am and 100 gpm
at 6am and where you must maintain a
continuous water supply. Parallel installations also offer the advantage of providing
increased capacity where needed beyond
that provided by a single valve. In addition,
the parallel configuration improves valve
performance for wide variable demands
and permits servicing of an individual valve

End Connections
To facilitate installation and servicing of the regulator, Watts offers a variety of end fitting configurations, which include union fittings
(female threaded, solder, CPVC, PEX, and Quick-Connect end connections), flanged valves, water meter threads and special lay
lengths for water meter installations. Please refer to the valve model for specific availability of end connection options.
*The wetted surface of this product contacted by consumable water contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight.
Performance Curves
To match the valve characteristics to
system requirements Watts has provided
performance curves for each type and size
of valve giving the capacities of each with
reduced pressure fall-offs up to 25psi.
The charts or curves for all types are plotted on a simple basis of rate of flow plotted against the reduced pressure fall-off.

Reducing Valves are designed to reduce incoming water pressure to a sensible level to protect plumbing system components and reduce water
consumption. The LF223/LF223S features Lead Free* construction to comply with
Lead Free* installation requirements. This series is suitable for water supply pressures
up to 300psi (20.7 bar) and may be adjusted from 25 75psi (172 517 kPa). The
standard setting is 50psi (345 kPa). Series LF223 features an enlarged diaphragm,
spring cage and seat orifice for high capacity performance. Series LF223S has the
same options as the LF223, except it is furnished with a strainer. All parts are quickly
and easily serviceable without removing the valve from the line. The optional bypass
feature*** permits the flow of water back through the valve into the main when pressures, due to thermal expansion on the outlet side of the valve, exceed the pressure
in the main supply.

Reducing Valves are designed to reduce incoming water pressure to a sensible level to protect plumbing system components and reduce water
consumption. This series is suitable for water supply pressures up to 175psi (12.1
bar) and may be adjusted from 25 75psi (172 517 kPa). The standard setting is
50psi (345 kPa). Series LFN223F features an enlarged diaphragm, spring cage and
seat orifice for super capacity performance. These valves also contain a semibalanced
piston feature to assure rapid response to reduced pressure changes as well as to
provide maximum flow with minor pressure drop. Series LFN223FS has the same
options as the LFN223F, except it is furnished with a strainer. All parts are quickly and
easily serviceable without removing the valve from the line.
