Watts 0121248 1/2" Pressure Reducing Valve 25–100PSI
The Watts 0121248 is a 1/2 inch, 25-100 reducing valve that is widely used in HVAC systems. It works by adjusting the high water pressure that enters to a desired, lower pressure that exits. By avoiding damage from excessive pressure, this regulated pressure guarantees that the system's downstream equipment operates as best it can. Hydronic heating systems, which use hot water to heat buildings, usually have reducing valves. Before additional parts like zone valves, heat exchangers, or radiant floor heating loops, are installed in the water supply line,. The valve protects these parts from overpressure by keeping them at a constant, lower pressure, which prolongs their lives and keeps them from malfunctioning. Additionally, increased system stability and efficiency are facilitated by pressure regulation.
