The Watts 0556019, technically identified as the LFN240X-6-150-1, is a heavy-duty 1-inch temperature and pressure relief valve engineered for high-capacity commercial water heating systems. Designed for precise overpressure protection, this valve features a lead-free copper silicon alloy body and a 6-inch stainless steel extension thermostat. With a dedicated 150 psi pressure relief setting and a 210°F temperature threshold, it ensures robust system safety in demanding mechanical environments. The Watts LFN240X-6 is built with an automatic reseating mechanism and tamper-resistant bonnet screws to maintain calibration integrity. Rated for a steam discharge capacity of 4,059,000 BTU/hr, it is an essential component for commercial hot water heaters and large-scale storage tanks. This specialized 1" T&P valve utilizes an NPT female inlet and outlet, facilitating a direct and secure fit for standard piping configurations. Its lead-free construction ensures full compliance with potable water regulations while providing veteran contractors with a reliable, non-mechanical seat-to-disc alignment solution for long-term field performance.

Common Questions

Is the Watts 0556019 compatible with BMS systems?
Yes, when paired with a Watts SentryPlus Alert activation kit, the integrated flood sensor can signal building management systems to report discharge events.

Can the LFN240X-6-150-1 be installed in any orientation?
For proper emergency pressure relief, it should be installed directly into the tank tapping or the hot water outlet piping within the allowable distance from the top of the tank, following local plumbing codes.

What is the difference between the 0556019 and the LFN240X-6?
They are identical components; 0556019 is the ordering code for the Watts 1" LFN240X-6 model with the 150 psi preset.
