It reduces inlet pressure of up to 300 psi to an adjustable 50-125 psi downstream. It features a buna-n seat. Rated to 300 psi and 33°F to 180°F. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2 inch high capacity lead free water pressure reducing valve is commonly installed at the meter in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. It is designed to control the water pressure flowing to all the appliances and outlets within the building and provides an inexpensive means of supplying lower, more functional water pressure to outlets and appliances. It features a lead free cast copper silicon alloy body construction, bypass to control thermal expansion pressure, NPT threaded union inlet by NPT female threaded outlet connections, high temperature resisting enlarged diaphragm for hot or cold temperatures, a sealed spring cage and seat orifice for high capacity performance. The high pressure range is 50 to 125 psi (3.45 to 8.6 bar).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT threaded union inlet by NPT threaded female outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead free cast copper silicon alloy body construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh pressure range 50 to 125 psi (3.4 to 8.6 bar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed by IAPMO and NSF 61 Commercial Hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnlarged diaphragm, spring cage and seat orifice for high capacity performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBypass feature controls thermal expansion pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitive spring and large diaphragm for accurate pressure control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh temperature resisting diaphragm for hot or cold water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed spring cage\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\u003eLF223-B-U-HP 50-125 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\u003eThe adjustable reduced-pressure range of LF223-B-U-HP 50-125 2 is 50 to 125 psi.
