Valve for hot-water systems
The Watts 3/4 LF70A mixing valve blends hot and cold water to deliver a controlled outlet temperature between 120 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit. It is built from lead-free brass for potable-water installations and carries a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The sweat connections suit standard 3/4-inch copper pipe.
Steady flow under continuous demand
The valve maintains its set temperature while passing up to 10 gallons per minute at a 10 psi pressure drop. Internal components are designed to resist scaling and wear during prolonged daily operation. Performance remains consistent across the full 120 to 160 degree range without sudden shifts.
Compact brass body runs cool and quiet
Lead-free brass construction adds minimal thermal mass, so the valve body stays near water temperature during normal use. No moving parts generate audible noise, and the valve draws no electrical power. The 4 1/8-inch height and 2 3/4-inch width fit tight mechanical rooms without special clearances.

Questions about this item
Does the 3/4 LF70A mixing valve generate noise or heat when running continuously?
The valve is a passive brass component with no moving parts that produce noise or heat; it simply blends hot and cold water within the 120 to 160 degrees F range at up to 150 psi.
What piping and fittings must already be in place for the 3/4 LF70A to install and operate?
You need 3/4 inch copper tubing with sweat connections on both the hot and cold supply lines and the mixed outlet, plus flux and lead-free solder rated for 150 psi service.
Will the 3/4 LF70A mixing valve work with an older water heater that only reaches 120 degrees F?
Yes, the valve’s adjustable range starts at 120 degrees F, so it can pass through that temperature unchanged while still providing up to 10 gpm flow at 10 psi pressure drop.
