Vacuum Relief for Water Heaters
The Watts LFN36-M1 vacuum relief valve protects domestic water heaters and supply tanks from vacuum damage. It opens at a factory-set pressure of 15 psi and operates across a 0 to 200 psi range. The brass body and silicone disc handle water temperatures up to 250 degrees F. This new component meets ANSI Z 21.22 and CSA standards.
3/4 in MNPT Inline Installation
The valve connects directly into 3/4 in MNPT threaded ports on both inlet and outlet sides. Its compact 2 in height and 2 in length allow fitment in tight plumbing runs without extra fittings. A 302 stainless steel spring provides consistent actuation. No test lever is included, so functional verification requires external means.
Pressure Range and Temperature Headroom
The 0 to 200 psi working range covers typical residential and light commercial supply pressures with ample margin. The 250 degrees F temperature rating suits standard water-heater discharge conditions. Systems requiring a test lever, higher pressure settings, or larger port sizes will need a different valve model.
