Watts
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.
