Watts LF560 0-60 1/4 Lead-Free Pressure Reducing Valve, Brass, FNPT

The Watts LF560 0-60 1/4 is a 1/4" lead-free pressure reducing valve with FNPT connections. It reduces inlet pressure of up to 300 psi to an adjustable 0-60 psi downstream, factory set at 40 psi. It features a brass body and a buna-n seat. Rated to 300 psi and 33°F to 140°F. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.

This 1/4 inch lead free mini water pressure regulator is designed to reduce incoming water pressure to protect plumbing system components and reduce water consumption. It is used in industrial process applications to regulate water pressure in systems where a small economical package is required. It has an oversized orifice that is ideal for use in miscellaneous plumbing applications and OEM equipment such as a travel trailer. It consists of a rugged lead free brass body, female NPT connections, plugged gauge port, Buna-N seat and diaphragm, stainless steel stem and spring, and a heavy duty slotted and knurled adjusting screw. The reduced pressure range is 0 to 60 psi (0 to 4.1 bar) and is factory set at 40 psi (2.8 bar).

Features

• Lead free brass body
• Stainless steel stem and spring
• Oversized orifice
• Heavy duty slotted and knurled adjusting screw

Common Questions

What pressure is it set to out of the box?

LF560 0-60 1/4 ships factory set at 40 psi. The adjustable reduced-pressure range is 0 to 60 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.

Does it include a strainer?

No - LF560 0-60 1/4 does not have an integral strainer. On dirty or older supply lines, install a separate inline strainer upstream to keep debris off the seat.

Does it come with a gauge?

LF560 0-60 1/4 has a gauge tapping (port) but no gauge is included - the port ships plugged. Thread in your own gauge to read the reduced downstream pressure.
