Watts LFF115 300 B 20-175 PI 4 Lead-Free Pressure Reducing Valve, Ductile Iron, Flanged

The Watts LFF115 300 B 20-175 PI 4 is a 4" lead-free globe-pattern pilot-operated pressure reducing control valve with Flanged connections, with a pilot adjustable from 20 to 175 psi. It features a ductile iron body and a buna-n seat. Rated to 300 psi and up to 160°F. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.

This 4 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 possible damaging high inlet pressure from passing through the valve to downstream piping. This Classic valve style has a globe body pattern with class 300 flanged end connections, a pressure range of 20-175psi, configured with inlet and outlet gauge ports, Buna-N 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 20–175 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 20–175 psi means a different pilot, not a field adjustment.

What is the maximum working pressure?

This unit is built as 300# Flanged and is rated to 300 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 Buna-N trim handle?

This valve is built with Buna-N elastomers, good to about 160°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 certified lead-free for potable water?

Yes. The "LF" prefix denotes Watts lead-free construction, compliant with the weighted-average 0.25% lead requirement of the Safe Drinking Water Act (NSF/ANSI 372) for potable-water service.
