WATTS 115-6 FL Pressure Reducing Valve 6 Inch Flanged

Watts 115-6 FL pressure reducing valve is used to maintain a consistent and safe water pressure level within pipelines, preventing damage to plumbing fixtures, appliances and downstream components. It is ideal for commercial and industrial plumbing systems.

Working Mechanism:

• Watts 115-6 FL pressure reducing valve utilises hydraulic control to maintain a constant lower downstream pressure within a plumbing system. It senses the fluctuating upstream pressure and adjusts its pilot mechanism accordingly to throttle the flow of water through the valve.
• By modulating the flow, it ensures that the downstream pressure remains stable despite variations in flow rate or upstream pressure. This valve acts as a control mechanism, automatically regulating water pressure to protect downstream components from damage caused by excessive pressure.

Features:

• It features a single-chamber design for efficient pressure reduction in plumbing systems.
• This pressure-reducing valve features an iron body and cover for durability and longevity.
• It has a pilot adjustment range of 30 to 300 psi for precise pressure control.
• This pressure-reducing valve offers a maximum continuous flow rate of 1800 gpm.
• It is equipped with flanged connections for secure and reliable pipeline installation.
• This valve is coated with fusion-bonded epoxy to resist corrosion and extend its service life.
• It has a 316 stainless steel trim for bearing chemical exposure.

Compatible Accessories:

• Watts 100RK-6 Valve Rebuild Kit: It is used for maintaining and refurbishing the functionality of the pressure-reducing valve.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do I know if I need a pressure reducing valve in my plumbing system?

A. If you experience high water pressure from your municipal supply or frequently encounter plumbing issues like leaks or burst pipes, installing a pressure-reducing valve may be necessary.

Q. What is the difference between continuous flow rate and intermittent flow rate in a pressure-reducing valve?

A. Continuous flow rate refers to the maximum flow rate the valve can handle under constant operating conditions, while intermittent flow rate indicates the maximum flow rate during peak demand periods.

Q. How do I adjust the pressure setting on a pressure-reducing valve?

A. Pressure reducing valves typically come with a pilot adjustment range, allowing users to adjust the pressure setting within a specified range using the pilot mechanism.
