Limited Warranty: Watts Regulator Co. (the “Company”) warrants each product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal usage for a period of one year from the date of original
shipment. In the event of such defects within the warranty period, the Company will, at its option, replace or recondition the product without charge. THE WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN IS GIVEN
EXPRESSLY AND IS THE ONLY WARRANTY GIVEN BY THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT. THE COMPANY MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE COMPANY HEREBY
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. The remedy described in the first paragraph of this warranty shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty, and the Company shall not be responsible for any incidental,
special or consequential damages, including without limitation, lost profits or the cost of repairing or replacing other property which is damaged if this product does not work properly, other costs resulting
from labor charges, delays, vandalism, negligence, fouling caused by foreign material, damage from adverse water conditions, chemical, or any other circumstances over which the Company has no control.
This warranty shall be invalidated by any abuse, misuse, misapplication, improper installation or improper maintenance or alteration of the product. Some States do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, and some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore the above limitations may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives
you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from State to State. You should consult applicable state laws to determine your rights. SO FAR AS IS CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE
STATE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY NOT BE DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL SHIPMENT.
Caution: Due to the low ductility of cast iron the
following installation procedures must be followed
in order to minimize any chance of damage to
the valve:
Item 1
Use a full-face gasket. The flange of this valve is
a flat faced flange and is designed for this type
of gasket.
Item 2
Gasket material should be elastomeric or com-
pressed sheet. This will assure proper sealing when
installed in accordance with these practices.
Item 3
Recommended flange bolt torques are as follows:
2" thru 4" valve (
1 ⁄ 2 " bolt) 58 foot pounds
6" thru 8" valve ( 3 ⁄
4
" bolt) 83 foot pounds
10" valve ( 7 ⁄
8
" bolt) 144 foot pounds
Item 4
Assure proper piping alignment and spacing. Any
gap between valve and mating flange should be
less than
1 ⁄
8
".
All of the above procedures are based upon ANSI
B16.5 entitled Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings,
and accepted industry practice.
