Built around the LF25AUB-Z3 series, it features a cast copper silicon alloy body, a reinforced EPDM diaphragm rated for hot water service, and an integral stainless steel strainer. The adjustable pressure range runs from 25 to 75 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of supply conditions. Operating temperature range spans 33 to 160 degrees F. Licensed plumbers install this valve where incoming pressure must be controlled to protect fixtures, water heaters, and piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is used in both residential and commercial plumbing systems where high incoming water pressure poses a risk to system components or results in excessive water consumption. The 3\/4-inch nominal size with FNPT union inlet and FNPT outlet connections suits standard potable water supply lines. The union inlet connection allows the valve body to be removed for service without disturbing surrounding piping. The unit is fully serviceable in-line, reducing downtime during maintenance. Typical applications include point-of-entry pressure regulation in single-family homes, apartment buildings, and light commercial facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable pressure range: 25 to 75 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free cast copper silicon alloy body construction meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced EPDM diaphragm and polymer seat rated for hot water service up to 160 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral stainless steel strainer protects internal components from debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnion inlet connection enables in-line serviceability without pipe disassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlet to outlet length: 5-5\/16 inches; top to inlet center: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in commercial and residential potable water supply systems requiring pressure reduction at point of entry or branch lines. The LF25AUB-Z3 series is also available in threaded, solder, PEX, quick-connect, and CPVC end connection configurations with union and double union options for varied installation requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Install the valve with the flow direction arrow aligned to the direction of supply flow. After installation, adjust the pressure setting gradually and verify downstream pressure with a calibrated gauge before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT Union x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 to 75 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33 to 160 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet to Outlet Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop to Inlet Center\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Copper Silicon Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiaphragm Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reinforced EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrainer Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-Free Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WATTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: w-0009257\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WATTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138348777778,"sku":"W-0009257","price":206.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305532674.png?v=1778253904","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/watts-w-0009257-pressure-reducing-valve-3-4-in-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
