Common Questions

Can I install it vertically?

Yes. The 2000-M5 1 1/2 is rated for horizontal or vertical lines. In a vertical run the flow must be upward through the valve, following the body arrow.

Does it come with a strainer?

No. This is an inline check valve only. If the line carries debris, install a strainer upstream — grit on the seat is the usual cause of a check valve weeping by.

Is it potable rated?

No. This model is not certified lead-free, so it is not for potable-water piping — it is specified for hydronic heating service. Watts LF-prefixed check valves cover potable applications.
