Description
The Watts 3L-150 3/4 is a 3/4" pressure relief valve for tankless / thermal expansion service, factory set at 150 psi. It features a brass body. Rated to 150 psi.
This 3/4 inch pressure relief valve is used in residential applications to protect against excessive pressure on domestic storage tanks and tankless water heaters. It consists of a brass body construction with NPT threaded male inlet and NPT threaded female (drain) outlet, test lever, and stainless steel spring. It is ANSI Z21.22 approved, ASME rated and design certified and listed by CSA. The pressure relief is set at 150 psi (10.3 bar).

- Brass body construction
- Pressure relief is set at 150 psi (10.3 bar)
- Test lever included
- ASME rated and CSA certified
Common Questions
- What pressure is this valve set to?
- It is factory set to relieve at 150 psi. The setting is fixed and is not field-adjustable.
- Is this ASME rated?
- Yes. It is ASME rated and carries the "HV" code symbol under ASME BPVC Section XIII (the section that replaced Section IV for overpressure protection), and it is National Board (NBBI) certified. It is also ANSI Z21.22 / CSA 4.4 approved, which is the listing water heater relief valves are required to carry. Inspectors look for that stamp on the valve body, and it is there.
- Can I use this on potable water?
- No. This model is not certified lead-free, so it cannot be installed in a potable (drinking) water line under the NSF/ANSI 372 weighted-average lead rule. Use it on non-potable service, or order the "LF" version of this model for potable water.
- Does the discharge have to be piped?
- Yes. Codes require the outlet to be piped full-size to a safe point of discharge, terminating with an air gap and no valve, cap, or reducer anywhere in the line — a relief valve that cannot discharge freely is not protecting anything. The manual test lever should be operated at least annually to confirm the valve is not seized.
