Zurn 70 Pressure Reducing Valve 1/2 Inch Wilkins

Product Description

The ZURN 70 is a 1/2-inch pressure reducing valve (PRV) from the Wilkins product line, designed to regulate and reduce incoming water supply pressure to a safe, steady downstream level. PRVs of this type protect residential and light commercial plumbing systems from high-pressure damage to fixtures, water heaters, and piping. Licensed plumbers install this valve on the main water supply line downstream of the service meter. The Wilkins Model 70 is a recognized name in water pressure regulation, built for reliable, long-term service in potable water systems.

The Wilkins Model 70 PRV is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where municipal supply pressure must be stepped down before entering the building distribution system. It fits a 1/2-inch pipe connection, making it appropriate for smaller service lines and branch applications. This valve is typically installed by a licensed plumber during new construction, service upgrades, or as a replacement for a failed pressure regulator on an existing supply line.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch connection size fits standard residential and light commercial supply lines
• Wilkins Model 70 design engineered for potable water pressure regulation
• Reduces high incoming municipal water pressure to protect downstream plumbing components
• OEM-style replacement suitable for existing Model 70 installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pressure reducing valve for 1/2-inch potable water supply line applications where a Wilkins Model 70 PRV is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before removing the existing valve. Install with the flow direction arrow aligned to the direction of water flow, and use thread sealant rated for potable water on all threaded connections. Test for leaks and confirm downstream pressure with a gauge after startup.
