LF223
Low Lead High Flow Water Pressure Reducing Valve
Series LF223 and LF223S high capacity water pressure reducing valves are used in commercial, industrial and research institution applications to reduce incoming water pressure to a sensible level to protect plumbing system components and reduce water consumption. The LF223/LF223S features Lead Free* construction to comply with Lead Free* installation requirements.
Series LF223 features an enlarged diaphragm, spring cage and seat orifice for high capacity performance. Series LF223S has the same options as the LF223, except it is furnished with a strainer. All parts are quickly and easily serviceable without removing the valve from the line. The optional bypass feature permits the flow of water back through the valve into the main when pressures, due to thermal expansion on the outlet side of the valve, exceed the pressure in the main supply.
This series is suitable for water supply pressures up to 300 psi (20.7 bar) and may be adjusted from 25 - 75 psi (172 - 517 kPa). The standard setting is 50 psi (345 kPa).
High pressure (-HP) models available for water supply pressures up 300 psi (20.7 bar). Model sizes 1/2” – 1” may be adjusted from 50 - 145 psi (345 - 1000 kPa) and 1 1/4" - 2” may be adjusted from 50 - 125 psi (345 - 862 kPa). The standard setting is 90 psi (621 kPa).
