Watts 328050 Compact Liquid Pressure Regulator 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The WATTS 328050 is a compact liquid pressure regulator from the 263A model series, designed to regulate downstream pressure in water and fuel oil distribution systems. Built with a forged brass body, this regulator is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 300 psi, making it well suited for demanding service environments. The 3/8 inch connection size fits standard residential and light commercial piping configurations. Licensed plumbers and service technicians typically install this type of regulator as part of water supply or fuel oil delivery system pressure management.

This regulator is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where controlled downstream pressure is required on water or fuel oil lines. The compact 263A form factor allows installation in space-constrained locations such as utility rooms, mechanical closets, and equipment skids. Its forged brass construction provides durability in wet and oil-contact service environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• Compact 263A series form factor for space-constrained installations
• Forged brass body construction for corrosion resistance in water and fuel oil service
• 300 psi maximum pressure rating
• 3/8 inch connection size compatible with standard piping systems
• Suitable for both water and fuel oil media

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compact pressure regulator for water supply and fuel oil piping systems requiring a 3/8 inch regulator in the 263A series form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off the upstream supply and relieve all system pressure before removing the existing regulator or making any connections. Ensure flow direction matches the directional marking on the regulator body. Verify downstream pressure after startup with a calibrated gauge before returning the system to service.
