Watts 1007046-88A7 Chrome Hood Cover 1/2 Inch 288A

Product Description

The WATTS 1007046-88A7 is a chrome hood cover designed as a replacement top cap for the WATTS 288A series 1/2-inch pressure reducing valve. This cover fits over the adjustment mechanism at the top of the valve body, providing a finished appearance while protecting the adjustment screw from debris and unauthorized tampering. It is a direct OEM-style service part installed by licensed plumbers during routine valve maintenance or when replacing a damaged or missing cover on an existing 288A installation.

The 1007046-88A7 is intended for use with the WATTS 288A 1/2-inch pressure reducing valve in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The 288A is commonly installed on domestic water supply lines to regulate and reduce incoming water pressure to a safe, code-compliant level. This chrome cover is a finishing or replacement component for that valve, used when the original hood is cracked, lost, or cosmetically damaged.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber as part of pressure reducing valve service or repair. Shut off the water supply to the valve before beginning any service work. The chrome hood is a mechanical cover and typically requires no tools beyond hand tightening, but follow the valve manufacturer's service documentation for proper seating. Verify the replacement cover is fully seated before restoring water pressure.
