Watts 2300 30-80 4 Pressure Reducing Valve, Cast Iron

The Watts 2300 30-80 4 is a 4" pressure reducing valve. It reduces inlet pressure of up to 200 psi to an adjustable 30-80 psi downstream. It features a cast iron body. Rated to 200 psi and up to 150°F.

This 4" direct operated water pressure reducing valve, series 2300, is used in commercial and industrial applications to regulate the flow of water to dead-end services where the flow is intermittent and changes rapidly, such as to flushometers, snap cocks, and for locations where city water pressure needs to be reduced to supply plumbing fixtures. It consists of an iron body construction with bronze trim, Hycar composition disc, piston, Hycar diaphragm, tempered steel spring, and a single seat. It is self-contained, self-aligning, and in-line serviceable with all internal parts accessible. The pressure-balanced design eliminates water hammer, pressure fluctuations, and pressure creep. It is ideal for use in industrial plants for washrooms and processing operations, apartment buildings, hotels, office buildings, hospitals, municipal and plant water mains. Maximum pressure is 200 psi (14 bar). Reduced pressure range is 30 to 80 psi (207 to 552 kPa).

Features

• Cast iron body construction
• Hycar diaphragm and disc ensures responsive service and long service life
• For dead end service where supply flow is intermittent and changes rapidly such as flush valve service
• Designed to close against flow for smooth operation

Common Questions

What pressure is it set to out of the box?

The adjustable reduced-pressure range of 2300 30-80 4 is 30 to 80 psi. Verify the outlet setting with a gauge after installation and adjust to your target pressure.

Does it include a strainer?

No - 2300 30-80 4 does not have an integral strainer. On dirty or older supply lines, install a separate inline strainer upstream to keep debris off the seat.

Does it come with a gauge?

No - 2300 30-80 4 has no gauge and no gauge tapping. Set the outlet pressure using a gauge elsewhere on the downstream piping.
