Common Questions

Is this UL/FM listed for fire service?

No. This is a brass general-service gate valve for water, oil and compressed gas lines; it is not listed for fire protection. Use the UL/FM listed 408-OSY-RW series for fire mains.

Rising or non-rising stem?

Non-rising stem (NRS). The stem turns but does not travel, so the valve fits tight spaces, buried service and pits. There is no visual open/closed indication — use an OS&Y valve where that is required.

Is this a complete valve or just the replacement gate?

Complete valve. The LFWGVS 1 ships as a full assembly — body, bonnet, wedge, stem and handwheel. The Watts NRS-RW-GATE / OSY-RW-GATE items are gate assemblies only, sold to service an existing valve.
