Watts 830946 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Watts 152A steam pressure regulator connect to 1 inch pipe?
Both ends of the Watts 152A, model 830946, are 1 inch female NPT threaded, inlet and outlet alike. So it threads straight onto 1 inch male NPT nipples or adapters. No flanges, no unions supplied, so plan on two nipples plus unions if you want to be able to pull the valve without cutting the line.
2) Does the Watts 152A pressure regulator come with a strainer or a pressure gauge?
No on both counts. The 830946 ships without a strainer and without a gauge. Steam regulators foul fast on pipe scale, so order a separate 1 inch Y-strainer for the inlet, and a gauge with a siphon (pigtail) on the outlet if you need to see the reduced setting. There is also no thermal expansion bypass in this valve.
3) Can I use this Watts regulator on domestic potable water instead of steam?
It is built as a process steam regulator for commercial and industrial service, with a cast iron body and no corrosion resistant coating. Iron on potable water is not what you want; for drinking water service use a bronze water pressure reducing valve, not this one.
4) What inlet steam pressure can this Watts iron regulator take?
Maximum working pressure on the 152A is 200 psi (14 bar), so it handles typical low and medium pressure boiler headers upstream. Minimum rated temperature is 33 degrees F, so it is not intended for freezing service.
5) What are the wetted trim parts made of on the Watts 830946?
Trim and disc are stainless steel in an iron body. Stainless trim is what gives the seat its life against wet steam and scale; the iron body is uncoated, so keep the trap and strainer maintained to limit condensate sitting in the valve.
