About WATTS REGULATOR

Watts Regulator, a brand of Watts Water Technologies, is a manufacturer of water pressure regulators, mixing valves, and related flow-control products. Founded in 1874 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, the company has a long history in the plumbing and industrial valve sector. The product line available through 3G Electric focuses on standard-capacity water pressure reducing valves and point-of-source thermostatic mixing valves. These components are used in commercial and industrial water systems to manage inlet pressure, protect downstream equipment, and control water temperature for safety and efficiency.

The water pressure reducing valves supplied by 3G Electric include models with Press x Press and NPT x NPT connections, in pipe sizes from 1/2 inch to 1 inch. Pressure adjustment ranges typically span 25 psi to 75 psi, suitable for typical municipal and well-water supply pressures. Materials vary: some models use copper silicon alloy bodies for corrosion resistance, while others use iron or brass. All listed models are low-lead compliant, meeting NSF 61-G requirements for potable water applications. The LFN45BM1 and LFN55BM1 series are standard-capacity units with integral strainers and replaceable seats, designed for inline installation.

Point-of-source mixing valves, such as the LF1170M2-UT-PRESS, are thermostatic mixing valves with Press x Press connections and a locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized temperature adjustment. These are used in applications requiring precise outlet temperature control, such as commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, or industrial washdown stations. The valves are constructed from brass and are low-lead compliant.

3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs across these families, providing procurement specialists with a range of connection types and sizes. The catalog includes both standard and PEX-compatible configurations. All products are sourced directly from Watts Regulator, ensuring traceability and compliance with applicable standards. 3G Electric supports global logistics for these items, with technical specifications available for comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about WATTS REGULATOR from 3G Electric.

What is the pressure adjustment range for Watts Regulator water pressure reducing valves available from 3G Electric?

The Watts Regulator water pressure reducing valves listed in the 3G Electric catalog, such as the LFN45BM1 and LFN55BM1 series, have an adjustable outlet pressure range of 25 psi to 75 psi. This range covers typical requirements for commercial and industrial water systems. The adjustment is made via a threaded stem or screw on the valve body, allowing field tuning without special tools.

Are Watts Regulator valves from 3G Electric compliant with low-lead standards?

Yes, the Watts Regulator water pressure reducing valves and mixing valves supplied by 3G Electric are low-lead compliant. This means they meet the requirements of NSF/ANSI 61-G and the Safe Drinking Water Act for lead content in wetted surfaces. The product descriptions explicitly note low-lead compliance for models such as the LFN45BM1 and LFN55BM1 series.

What connection types are available for Watts Regulator pressure reducing valves at 3G Electric?

3G Electric stocks Watts Regulator pressure reducing valves with two connection types: Press x Press and NPT x NPT. Press connections use a crimp-ring system for copper or PEX tubing, while NPT connections are threaded for standard pipe fittings. Pipe sizes range from 1/2 inch to 1 inch. For example, SKU 429J15 has Press x Press connections, and SKU 48RJ75 has NPT x NPT connections.

What materials are used in Watts Regulator valves available through 3G Electric?

The Watts Regulator valves in the 3G Electric catalog are constructed from several materials depending on the model. The LFN55BM1 series uses copper silicon alloy (also known as silicon bronze) for the valve body, which offers corrosion resistance in potable water systems. The LFN45BM1 series bodies are not specified in the provided data but are typically brass. The LF1170M2 mixing valve has a brass body. Iron is used in the 1156F feed water pressure regulator.

Does 3G Electric carry Watts Regulator thermostatic mixing valves?

Yes, 3G Electric stocks the Watts Regulator LF1170M2-UT-PRESS thermostatic mixing valve. This is a point-of-source mixing valve with a 1/2-inch Press x Press connection, a brass body, and a locking mechanism to secure the temperature setting. It is designed for applications requiring precise outlet temperature control, such as in commercial or industrial hot water systems.

What is the difference between the LFN45BM1 and LFN55BM1 series Watts Regulator valves?

The LFN45BM1 series is a standard-capacity water pressure reducing valve with Press x Press connections, available in 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch sizes. The LFN55BM1 series is also a standard-capacity valve but uses a copper silicon alloy body and is available in NPT x NPT or dual PEX configurations. Both series have a 25 psi to 75 psi adjustment range and are low-lead compliant. The choice depends on connection type and material preference.
