Watts: Committed to "Customer Service"- Today and Always Established in 1874, Watts Regulator Company, as originally identified, stands to be the "Setting The Standard In Valve Technology." In the intensifying water quality markets of 1970's, Watts started picking up the pace by pioneering new products such as backflow preventers. Today, Watts Water Technologies, Inc. has grown to become a leader for applications in the commercial, irrigation, residential, steam and heating supplies and fittings - valves. Product lines include: Air Valves, Pressure Valves, Relief Valves, Tempering Valves, Backflow Preventers and RPZ Assemblies. Watts owns and operates manufacturing facilities and distribution channels in North America, Europe, Canada, and 2 majority controlled joint ventures in The People's Republic of China. Watts Air Valves Radiators come with 2 valves- inlet valve and air valve. The air valve permits ventilation of air from the radiator and its displacement takes place by steam. Condensate is exhausted from the radiator in the course of the same pipe that supplies steam. Air valves are not pricey and offer long lasting effect. Watts Pressure Valves Watts Pressure Valves help to eradicate extremely pump head pressure when most radiator valves get closed due to lack of demand. Watts Pressure Valves are perfect for applications like Radiant Panel. Its main features are: Built-in differential pressure indicator. Easy installation. It doesn't require electrical hookup. Differential pressure range. Watts Relief Valves The Relief Valves can be classified into two of its kinds: Watts Internal Pump Relief Valves Normally these pump manufacturers have an option to supply an internal relief valve. These relief valves will temporarily relieve the pressure on the discharge side of a pump operating against a closed valve. They cannot by pass all the flow produced by the pump. These internal relief valves should be used for pump protection against a temporary closing of a valve. Watts External Relief Valve An external relief valve (RV) installed in the discharge line with a return line back to the supply tank is highly recommended to provide complete protection against an unexpected over pressure situation. Watts Tempering Valves Tempering Valves are used in residential water supply applications to mix cold and hot water to extend capacity of water heater storage tanks and hot water boiler tank-less heaters. It features brass body construction, dial adjustment cap, replaceable thermostat, stainless steel spring and is available with either threaded or solder end connections. Watts Backflow Preventers A properly installed backflow preventer prevents a pure drinking water supply by averting the contaminated water from mixing with the drinking water. Irrigation systems not protected by approved backflow prevention assemblies could endanger the health of a household, neighborhood or community. Some measures can be taken to keep a check on such a dangerous situation. One needs to ensure the right installation of backflow preventer. A backflow preventer is a mechanism to prevent backflow, which provides a physical barrier to backflow. The principal types of mechanical backflow preventer are the reduced-pressure principle assembly, the pressure vacuum breaker assembly, and the double check valve assembly. A secondary type of mechanical backflow preventer is the residential dual check valve. All irrigation systems, new or existing...should be equipped with an approved backflow prevention assembly. Only properly installed, state-approved backflow prevention assemblies meet the plumbing code and provide health protection for family and neighbors.
