The Watts LFM115 150 E 2-30 PI 1 1/2 is a 1-1/2" lead-free globe-pattern pilot-operated pressure reducing control valve with Flanged connections, with a pilot adjustable from 2 to 30 psi. It features a ductile iron body and a epdm seat. Rated to 600 psi and up to 300°F. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.
This 1 1/2 inch ACV is armed with ArmorTek®, a patented 3-part advanced epoxy coating system designed to limit both microbial induced (MIC) and exposed metal substrate corrosion. This pressure reducing control valve is designed to automatically reduce a fluctuating higher inlet pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure regardless of varying flow rates. The quick closing action of the valve limits the possibility of damaging high inlet pressure from passing through the valve to downstream piping. This Mustang valve style has a globe body pattern with class 150 flange end connections, a pressure range of 2-30psi, configured with inlet and outlet gauge ports, EPDM elastomers, and position indicator. SentryPlus Alert® technology provides intelligent pressure monitoring and notifications using integrated sensors, and integrates with the Sensor Control Monitor to deliver maintenance alerts through BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform over Wi-Fi.

Common Questions
- What pressure setpoint can this valve be adjusted to?
- The pilot on this valve is spring-ranged for 2–30 psi, so your target setpoint must fall inside that band. Watts builds the 115/116 platform with several pilot springs (2-30, 10-75, 20-175, 20-200 and 30-300 psi); ordering a setpoint outside 2–30 psi means a different pilot, not a field adjustment.
- What is the maximum working pressure?
- This unit is built as 150# Flanged and is rated to 600 psi. End connection sets the ceiling on this platform, and 150# and 300# bodies are not interchangeable — confirm the class matches your flange drilling before ordering.
- What fluid temperature can the EPDM trim handle?
- This valve is built with EPDM elastomers, good to about 300°F. Watts offers the same body with Buna-N (to 160°F), FKM/Viton (to 250°F) or EPDM (to 300°F) — pick the elastomer for your fluid temperature, not the body.
- Is this valve UL Listed and FM Approved for fire protection?
- Yes — this model carries the UL listing and FM approval required for fire-protection service. Non-listed control valves cannot be substituted on a fire job even when the body and pilot are otherwise identical.
