Series LFB6000, LFB6001

2-Piece, Standard Port, Lead Free* Ball Valves

Sizes: 1⁄4" – 4" (8 – 100mm)

Series LFB6000, LFB6001 2-Piece, Standard Port, Lead Free* Ball Valves feature a blowout proof pressure retaining 316 stainless steel stem. The LFB6000, LFB6001’s standard port orifice ensures minimal pressure drop, while Durafill stainless steel ball provide lasting service for a wide range of liquids and gases. The Series LFB6000 and LFB6001 feature Lead Free* construction to comply with Lead Free* installation requirements.

Specifications

A 2-piece standard port Lead Free* copper silicon alloy ball valve

to be installed as indicated on the plans. The valve must have a blowout proof pressure retaining 316 stainless steel stem, Durafill

⁄4" – 1⁄2" & 11⁄4" – 4") or Uniseal® seats (3⁄4" & 1"), reinforced

seats ( PTFE stem packing seal, and 316 stainless steel ball. Valves with

top loaded stems or valves without adjustable packing are not

acceptable. Pressure rating no less than 600psi (41 bar) WOG non-shock; 150psi (10 bar) WSP for WOG non-shock; 125psi (8.6 bar) WSP for 4". The valve shall be constructed using Lead Free* copper silicon alloy. Lead Free* ball valves shall comply with state codes and standards, where applicable, requiring reduced lead content. Valve must conform to MSS-SP-110 and shall be a Watts Series LFB6000 (threaded) or LFB6001 (solder).

Watts product specifications in U.S. customary units and metric are approximate and are provided for reference only. For precise measurements, please contact Watts Technical Service. Watts reserves the right to change or modify product design, construction, specifications, or materials without prior notice and without incurring any obligation to make such changes and modifications on Watts products previously or subsequently sold.

**This valve is designed to be soft soldered into lines without disassembly, using a low temperature solder 420°F (216°C). Other solders such as 95/5 tin antimony 460°F (238°C) or 96/4 tin silver 420°F (216°C) can be used, however extreme caution must be used to pre-

vent seat damage. Higher temperature solders will damage the seat material. ANSI B.16.18 states that the maximum operating pressure

of 50-50 solder connections is 200 psi (14 bar) at 100°F (38°C) 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. After soldering, the packing

nut may have to be tightened.
