Common Questions

Is this UL/FM listed for fire service?

No. Series 405 is not UL/FM listed — it is built for water distribution and irrigation service at 200 psi CWP. For a fire main shutoff, use the UL/FM listed 408-OSY-RW instead.

Rising or non-rising stem?

Non-rising stem (NRS). The stem turns but does not travel, so the valve fits tight spaces, buried service and pits. There is no visual open/closed indication — use an OS&Y valve where that is required.

Is this a complete valve or just the replacement gate?

Complete valve. The 405NRS FLGXGRV 2 1/2 ships as a full assembly — body, bonnet, wedge, stem and handwheel. The Watts NRS-RW-GATE / OSY-RW-GATE items are gate assemblies only, sold to service an existing valve.

What does "resilient wedge" mean?

The wedge is a ductile-iron disc fully encapsulated in rubber, so it seals bubble-tight against the epoxy-coated body without a bronze seat ring and holds up against high differential pressure.
