Specifications
A Lead Free* brass silent check valve shall be installed as indicated on the plans. The valve shall have a Viton disc, integral Lead Free* brass seat and silent operation. Pressure rating no less than 400psi (27.6 bar) WOG non-shock. The silent check valve shall be constructed using Lead Free* brass body and Lead Free* brass check and adapter. Lead Free* silent check valves shall comply with state codes and standards, where applicable, requiring reduced lead content. Valve shall be a Watts Series LF601 (threaded) or LF601S (solder)

Application Notes
These valves are not suggested for installation in sewage ejector piping. WARNING: Do not use for reciprocating air compressor service.

*The wetted surface of this product contacted by consumable water contains less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of lead by weight.

***This valve is designed to be soft soldered into lines without disassembly using a low temperature solder; 420F (216C). Other solders such as 95/5 tin antimony 460F (238C) or 96/4 tin silver 430F (221C) can be used. However, extreme caution must be used to prevent seat damage. Higher temperature solders will damage the seat material. ANSI B16.18 states that the maximum operating pressure of 50-50 solder connections is 200 psi (13.8 bars) at 100F (38C), and decreases with higher temperatures. Apply heat with the flame directed AWAY from the center of the valve body. Excessive heat can harm the seats.
