Common Questions
- Is this UL/FM listed for fire service?
- Yes. The 408-OSY-RW 10 is UL Listed and FM Approved and complies with MSS SP-70, so it can be used as a fire main shutoff. Its OS&Y stem gives visual position indication and accepts a supervisory tamper switch.
- Rising or non-rising stem?
- OS&Y (outside stem and yoke) — the stem rises as the valve opens, giving visual position indication and room for a supervisory switch. It needs headroom above the valve.
- Is this a complete valve or just the replacement gate?
- Complete valve. The 408-OSY-RW 10 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.
