Wilkins 112-610XL Pressure Reducing Valve 1-1/2 in 400 Psi

Product Description

The WILKINS 112-610XL is a pressure reducing valve designed for potable water and plumbing systems requiring precise downstream pressure control. The valve incorporates an integral by-pass check valve and a built-in strainer in a single compact body, reducing the number of inline components required. The body is cast bronze, suited for corrosion resistance in wet plumbing environments. Rated to 400 psi inlet pressure, the 112-610XL connects via a 1-1/2 inch FNPT union inlet and FNPT outlet, making removal and reinstallation straightforward during service calls.

This valve is specified for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where incoming supply pressure must be stepped down to protect fixtures, appliances, and piping downstream. The union-style inlet connection is particularly useful in retrofit applications where the valve must be swapped without cutting pipe. Licensed plumbers install this valve on domestic water service entries, booster pump discharge lines, and similar pressure-sensitive supply runs.

Key Features

• Integral by-pass check valve eliminates the need for a separate check valve in the assembly
• Built-in strainer protects valve seat and downstream components from debris
• Cast bronze body provides corrosion resistance in potable water service
• 1-1/2 inch FNPT union inlet allows tool-accessible removal without cutting pipe
• 400 psi rated inlet pressure accommodates high-pressure supply conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure reducing valve for 1-1/2 inch FNPT plumbing systems requiring integrated check valve and strainer functionality.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing this valve. The union connection on the inlet side should be hand-tightened first, then wrench-tightened to avoid cross-threading the union nut. After installation, restore supply pressure gradually and inspect all connections for leaks before returning the system to service.
