Watts 0780014 Valve

The Watts 0780014 (also identified by part number 780014) is a 2-inch Series 2000 heavy-duty mechanical float valve engineered for high-capacity water flow control in demanding commercial and industrial environments. This bronze body float valve is specifically designed for tank wall-mounting in cooling tower water level control, large-scale refrigeration, and irrigation systems. It features a robust 2" FNPT threaded inlet with a machined flange and a male straight-pipe threaded outlet for secure locknut installation. With a maximum pressure rating of 165 psi and a high flow rate of approximately 250 GPM at 50 psi, this valve ensures rapid reservoir replenishment and precision fluid management. The assembly utilizes serrated arms for granular water level adjustments and include a no-jam single lever action to prevent operational hangups. Designed for media temperatures up to 180°F, this heavy duty float valve is a reliable solution for veteran contractors managing HVAC make-up water valves and large-capacity open loops.

• High-Flow Performance: Handles up to 250 GPM to support large-scale industrial water systems and cooling towers.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty bronze body and brass rod provide superior resistance to corrosion and wear in open-loop applications.
• Precision Adjustment: Serrated adjustment arms allow for exact setting of the water line without the risk of slipping under high pressure.
• Versatile Mounting: Machined flange and FNPT connections facilitate easy bulkhead or tank-wall installation.
• Field Serviceable: Features replaceable seals and a simple lever mechanism for long-term maintenance in the field.

Is the Watts 0780014 suitable for potable water applications?
No, this series is typically listed as "Not in Scope" for lead-free requirements and is intended for non-potable commercial, industrial, and agricultural use such as cooling towers or irrigation.

What size float and rod should be used with this valve?
This 2-inch valve usually mates with a 3/8"-16 threaded rod. Ensure the float ball displacement is sufficient to overcome the 165 psi max inlet pressure for positive shut-off.

Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
The Series 2000 is designed for horizontal piping and tank wall-mounting. For optimal performance and to maintain the no-jam lever action, ensure the float moves freely in a vertical plane.
