Watts LFM115 3 Lead-Free Globe Valve, Ductile Iron, Flanged

The Watts LFM115 3 is a 3" lead-free globe-pattern pilot-operated pressure reducing control valve with Flanged connections. It features a ductile iron body and a epdm seat. Rated to 600 psi and up to 300°F. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.

This 3 inch ductile iron 150# flanged globe style pressure reducing ACV, M115 series, has a pilot range of 30-300 psig. This valve is designed to automatically reduce a fluctuating higher inlet pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure regardless of varying flow rates. The quick closing action of the valve limits possible damaging high inlet pressure from passing through the valve to downstream piping. SentryPlus Alert® technology provides intelligent pressure monitoring and notifications using integrated sensors, and integrates with the Sensor Control Monitor to deliver maintenance alerts through BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform over Wi-Fi.

Features

• Throttles to reduce high upstream pressure to constant lower downstream pressure
• Body and cover are constructed of strong and durable ductile iron (ASTM A536)
• Simplified and efficient design is easy and economical to maintain
• Integrates with the Sensor Control Monitor to deliver maintenance alerts to BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa platform by Wi-Fi connectivity
• Full port design

Common Questions

What is the maximum working pressure?

This unit is built as 150# Flanged and is rated to 600 psi. End connection sets the ceiling on this platform, and 150# and 300# bodies are not interchangeable — confirm the class matches your flange drilling before ordering.

What fluid temperature can the EPDM trim handle?

This valve is built with EPDM elastomers, good to about 300°F. Watts offers the same body with Buna-N (to 160°F), FKM/Viton (to 250°F) or EPDM (to 300°F) — pick the elastomer for your fluid temperature, not the body.

Is this valve UL Listed and FM Approved for fire protection?

Yes — this model carries the UL listing and FM approval required for fire-protection service. Non-listed control valves cannot be substituted on a fire job even when the body and pilot are otherwise identical.
