Description

The Watts Series WVS 4 inch Ductile Iron Valve Setter with Mechanical Joint x Mechanical Joint connections is specifically engineered to enhance the installation of N-shape backflow prevention valve assemblies. Constructed from fusion epoxy coated ductile iron, this setter offers superior corrosion resistance and durability. Its integral support design eliminates the need for costly and space-consuming thrust blocks by effectively transferring downstream thrust. Capable of operating up to 175 PSI within a temperature range of 32°F to 140°F, it ensures reliable performance. Wetted surfaces contain less than 0.25% lead by weight, meeting lead-free requirements.

System Compatibility

  • This valve setter is designed to augment the installation of Watts "N" series backflow prevention valve assemblies, providing essential structural support.

Connection Details

  • Equipped with mechanical joint (MJ) connections on both ends for secure and reliable attachment to compatible piping systems.
  • The integral ductile iron support within the setter effectively transfers thrust downstream, reducing the need for additional thrust blocks at the connection points.

Please note that mechanical joint accessories, such as bolts, nuts, and gaskets, are not included with this valve setter (except for center joints). These components will need to be supplied separately based on local conditions and installation requirements.

Additional Details

The Watts Series WVS 4 inch ductile iron valve setter features mechanical joint by mechanical joint connections, engineered to augment the installation of "N" series backflow prevention valve assemblies. It provides a robust, inline support structure for these critical systems.

This valve setter is constructed from fusion epoxy coated ductile iron and incorporates an integral support between elbows. This design effectively transfers thrust downstream, thereby eliminating the need for external thrust blocks or other additional restraints at the point of installation.

Key Features

  • Corrosion resistant thanks to internal and external fusion epoxy coating.
  • Eliminates the need for thrust blocks, simplifying installation and reducing material costs.
  • Integral ductile iron support ensures stability and proper thrust transfer.
  • Wetted surfaces comply with lead-free requirements, containing less than 0.25% lead by weight.

Mechanical joint restraint devices may be required at pipe connections, depending on local conditions and governing authority requirements.
