Reliable Float Valve for Large-Capacity Tanks
The Watts 2000 model is a heavy-duty float valve built for 2-inch piping in commercial or industrial water systems. Its bronze body and brass rod resist corrosion while controlling fill levels in storage tanks, cooling towers or process vessels. Installers who need dependable shut-off at high flow rates will find it suited to demanding plumbing installations.
Bronze Construction with FNPT Connection
The valve body is cast bronze and mounts directly to horizontal piping through a female NPT thread, so it threads onto standard pipe without adapters. A 3/8-inch 16-thread brass rod provides durable linkage to the float mechanism. This pipe-mount design keeps the valve aligned with the supply line, reducing stress on joints during pressure surges.
Rated for 165 psi and 180°F Operation
At 50 psi supply pressure the valve passes 250 gpm, rising to 348 gpm at 100 psi while staying within its 165 psi maximum rating. The bronze construction handles water temperatures up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit without deformation. These pressure and temperature limits suit typical municipal or pumped supply conditions in non-potable and irrigation systems.

Questions about this item
What does the FNPT connection on the Watts 2000 float valve mean for pipe compatibility?
The valve uses a 2-inch FNPT thread that screws directly onto a matching 2-inch male NPT pipe end, providing a tapered seal without extra fittings.
What clearance is needed to mount the Watts 2000 float valve on horizontal piping?
The valve body is bronze with a brass 3/8-16 rod; allow enough horizontal run for the 2-inch FNPT connection plus space for the float arm to move without obstruction.
How is the Watts 2000 float valve installed on a horizontal supply line?
Thread the bronze valve onto the 2-inch FNPT pipe with the flow arrow pointing downstream, attach the float arm to the 3/8-16 brass rod, then confirm the arm moves freely before applying up to 165 psi.
