WATTS MODEL M2 1" PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE 223 25-75PSI RANGE EDP# 0296600

Description:

The Watts Model M2 1" Pressure Reducing Valve, Series 223 (EDP# 0296600), is a high-capacity water pressure reducing valve designed to automatically reduce incoming water pressure to a safe and consistent downstream level. With an adjustable pressure range of 25–75 PSI and a factory preset of 50 PSI, it helps protect plumbing systems, fixtures, valves, and equipment from excessive pressure while reducing water consumption. It is commonly installed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, institutional water systems, and high-demand potable water applications.

Applications:

The Watts Model M2 1" Pressure Reducing Valve is widely used in commercial plumbing systems, industrial process water systems, municipal water distribution, apartment complexes, schools, hospitals, office buildings, manufacturing plants, and irrigation systems. It maintains a stable downstream pressure despite fluctuations in supply pressure, helping reduce water hammer, improve system efficiency, extend equipment life, and protect downstream piping and fixtures. The valve is serviceable in-line, making maintenance easier without removing it from the piping system.
