Constructed with a durable bronze body, integral stainless steel strainer, replaceable seat module, and thermal expansion bypass, the U5B helps protect plumbing fixtures, piping systems, appliances, and process equipment from excessive pressure while reducing water consumption. The valve is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial water distribution systems and is designed for easy in-line maintenance without removal from the piping system. The U5B series has been discontinued and replaced by the LFU5B-Z3 lead-free series. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5ms9th\" data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"812\"\u003eApplications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003eThe Watts U5B Pressure Reducing Valve is commonly used in residential water service lines, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, apartment complexes, hospitals, schools, hotels, irrigation systems, manufacturing plants, and municipal water distribution systems where excessive incoming water pressure must be reduced to protect plumbing systems, improve equipment reliability, minimize water hammer, and reduce water consumption. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5hg6bl\" data-start=\"1289\" data-end=\"1318\"\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"2161\"\u003e• Manufacturer: Watts Water Technologies\u003cbr data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1362\"\u003e• Model: U5B\u003cbr data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1377\"\u003e• Product Type: Water Pressure Reducing Valve\u003cbr data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1425\"\u003e• Series: U5B-Z3\u003cbr data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003e• Body Material: Bronze\u003cbr data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1470\"\u003e• Strainer Material: Stainless Steel\u003cbr data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1509\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Maximum Working Pressure: 300 PSI\u003cbr data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003e• Adjustable Outlet Pressure Range: 25–75 PSI\u003cbr data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003e• Factory Pressure Setting: 50 PSI\u003cbr data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003e• Maximum Operating Temperature: 160°F (71°C)\u003cbr data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1680\"\u003e• Connection Types: Threaded, Solder, or Quick-Connect (model dependent)\u003cbr data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1755\"\u003e• Seat Design: Replaceable Seat Module\u003cbr data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1796\"\u003e• Thermal Expansion Bypass: Yes\u003cbr data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"1830\"\u003e• Integral Strainer: Yes\u003cbr data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1857\"\u003e• Serviceability: In-Line Maintenance Capability\u003cbr data-start=\"1905\" data-end=\"1908\"\u003e• Function: Water Pressure Reduction and Regulation\u003cbr data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"1962\"\u003e• Media: Potable Water Systems\u003cbr data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"1995\"\u003e• Installation Type: Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Water Systems\u003cbr data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2072\"\u003e• Equipment Category: Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1cz0398\" data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2187\"\u003eCommon Replacements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2188\" data-end=\"2357\"\u003e• Watts LFU5B-Z3 Pressure Reducing Valve\u003cbr data-start=\"2228\" data-end=\"2231\"\u003e• Watts LF25AUB-Z3 Pressure Reducing Valve\u003cbr data-start=\"2273\" data-end=\"2276\"\u003e• Zurn Wilkins 70XL Pressure Reducing Valve\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WATTS","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51731251921198,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_95c6ad63-b4d3-4ddb-946e-f1cb089765e2.jpg?v=1770595814","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/watts-regulator-company-u5b-pressure-reducing-valve","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
