Features

• Durable materials: Low-lead cast bronze body with a UV-resistant polymer composite bell housing for corrosion resistance and fast access to internals.
• Serviceable design: Cartridge-loaded repair design and threaded bell allow quick field servicing without removing the valve from the line.
• Integral protection: 300-series stainless steel strainer screen captures sediment and an internal bypass check prevents excessive thermal expansion buildup.
• Adjustable pressure: Factory preset at 50 psi with an adjustable reduced-pressure range of 25–75 psi to meet common plumbing and irrigation requirements.
• Connections & fit: FNPT union x FNPT connections and a short lay length make it suitable for tight installations; multiple tailpiece options support solderless connections.
• Rated for potable water: Brass stem and 302 stainless spring trim, EPDM/Buna nitrile elastomers, NSF/ANSI 61 compliance, and rated for temperatures up to 140°F.
