Product Description
The WATTS f121504 is a lead free pressure relief valve designed to protect hot water space heating boilers from excessive pressure buildup. Built on the LF174A series platform, it features a lead free copper silicon alloy body with a 1 inch NPTF female threaded inlet and outlet, a 125 psi pressure relief setpoint, and a non-metallic disc-to-metal seating arrangement for reliable shutoff. The valve includes a nonrestrictive discharge drain line flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert technology that detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve, enabling early warning before a problem escalates. Licensed plumbers and hydronic heating technicians are the typical installers for this component.
This relief valve is suited for residential and light commercial hot water space heating boiler systems where lead free compliance and pressure protection are required. The integrated flood sensor connectivity allows the valve to interface with existing building management systems or the Watts Cellular Gateway when paired with a separately purchased activation kit. It is a direct-fit solution for boiler installations requiring a 1 inch NPTF threaded relief valve with smart monitoring capability.
