Watts LFH560 3/4 Lead-Free Pressure Reducing Valve, Brass, NPT

The Watts LFH560 3/4 is a 3/4" lead-free pressure reducing valve with NPT connections. It reduces inlet pressure of up to 300 psi to an adjustable 10-60 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 3/4 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 OEM applications to regulate water pressure in systems where a small economical package is required such as grid systems and recreational vehicles. It consists of a rugged lead free brass body, female hose inlet by male hose outlet threaded connections, plugged gauge port, Buna-N seat and diaphragm, oversized orifice, stainless steel stem and spring, and a heavy duty slotted and knurled adjusting screw. The adjustable reduced pressure range is 10 to 60 psi (0.68 to 4.13 bar) and is factory set at 40 psi (2.8 bar).

Common Questions

What pressure is it set to out of the box?

LFH560 3/4 ships factory set at 40 psi. The adjustable reduced-pressure range is 10 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 - LFH560 3/4 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?

LFH560 3/4 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.
