Watts 556000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Watts LF100XL 556000 T&P valve thread into a standard 3/4 inch water heater tapping?
Yes. The Watts 0556000 has a 3/4 inch male NPT inlet that threads into the heater's tapping, and a 3/4 inch female NPT outlet for the discharge line. The shank is 1-1/8 inches long, so it suits a standard tank tapping rather than a deep-boss extension application.
2) What pressure and temperature does this Watts relief valve open at?
It relieves at 150 psi on pressure and 210 degrees F on temperature, which is the standard setting pair for residential and light commercial water heaters. Make sure 150 psi is at or below your tank's rated working pressure before installing it.
3) Is this Watts T&P valve lead free for potable water?
The body is a lead free copper silicon alloy, so it is intended for potable water heater service. That is what the LF in the LF100XL series designation refers to.
4) What BTU water heater can this 150 psi relief valve handle?
Sizing is by discharge capacity: 200,000 BTU per hour on pressure relief and 105,000 BTU per hour on temperature relief. The temperature figure is the one that governs on a water heater, so the heater's input rating must not exceed 105,000 BTU/hr. A larger commercial heater needs a bigger valve.
5) Does the Watts 0556000 have a test lever, and does it reseat itself after testing?
It has a manual test lever and is a self closing design, so it reseats once pressure and temperature drop back below the setpoints. Lifting the lever periodically is the standard way to verify the valve is not seized, and it should be accessible after install.
6) Can I use this relief valve on a boiler or expansion tank instead of a water heater?
No. The 0556000 is a combination temperature and pressure valve built for water heater service, with a 210 degree F thermostat that only makes sense on a hot water storage tank. A hydronic boiler needs a pressure-only relief valve set at the boiler's rating, typically 30 psi, not a 150 psi T&P.
