It reduces inlet pressure of up to 300 psi to an adjustable 25-75 psi downstream, factory set at 50 psi. It features a copper body and a epdm seat. Rated to 300 psi. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2 inch water pressure reducing valve is designed to reduce incoming water pressure to protect plumbing systems and reduce water consumption for commercial, industrial and residential applications. The easy maintenance assembly consists of a lead free brass body construction, with double union press connections, stainless steel integral strainer, thermoplastic seat module, thermal expansion bypass and a sealed spring cage for waterworks pit installations. The temperature range is 33 to 180 degrees F (0.5 to 82 degrees C). Suitable for up to 300 psi (20.7 bar), the pressure range can be adjusted from 25 to 75 psi (1.72 to 5.17 bar) with the standard setting at 50 psi (3.45 bar).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble union press connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral stainless steel strainer removable for cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic seat and cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed spring cage for accessible outdoor or pit installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Strainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have a built-in bypass for thermal expansion, or do I still need an expansion tank?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eLFN45B-DU-PR 2 includes an integral thermal-expansion bypass. When downstream pressure from a water heater rises above the inlet pressure, the bypass relieves that excess back through the valve toward the supply, which prevents nuisance pressure build-up on a closed system. It is not a substitute for a properly sized thermal expansion tank where your local code requires one - the bypass only relieves back to the street when street pressure is lower, so check the code in your jurisdiction.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pressure is it set to out of the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eLFN45B-DU-PR 2 ships factory set at 50 psi. The adjustable reduced-pressure range is 25 to 75 psi, so you can dial the outlet anywhere in that band on site with the adjusting screw - loosen the locknut, turn in to raise pressure and out to lower it, then retighten and verify with a gauge.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it include a strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes - LFN45B-DU-PR 2 has an integral stainless steel strainer built into the body, so you do not need a separate inline strainer ahead of it. The strainer is removable for cleaning; if the valve starts to lose downstream pressure, pull and rinse the strainer before assuming the seat has failed.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a gauge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo - LFN45B-DU-PR 2 has no gauge and no gauge tapping.
