Typical Installation:

Local codes shall govern installation requirements. Unless otherwise specified, the assembly shall be mounted in accordance with the latest edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code. The Model 600XL may be installed in any position. If installed in a pit, vault or inside application, specify the "SC" sealed cage option. Multiple installations are recommended for wide demand variations or where the desired pressure reduction is more than 4 to 1 (i.e.: 200 psi inlet reduced to 50 psi outlet). Anytime a reducing valve is adjusted, a pressure gauge must be used downstream to verify correct pressure setting.

Standards Compliance:

ASSE Listed 1003; IAPMO Listed; CSA Certified; City of Los Angeles Approved; NSF/ANSI/CAN 61

Features & Benefits:

• Integral By-pass Check Valve: Prevents buildup of excessive system pressure caused by thermal expansion in the water system.
• Balanced Piston Design: Ensures smooth and responsive reaction to changes in system flow demand while providing protection from inlet pressure changes.
• Integral Strainer: Designed for frequent cleaning in systems with sediment and debris, making it ideal for residential and commercial applications.
• Flexible Installation: Can be installed in any position with options for pit/vault installations using the sealed cage option.

FAQ

Q: What pressure reduction ratio is recommended for the Zurn 2-600XL?

A: Multiple installations are recommended for wide demand variations or where the desired pressure reduction exceeds a 4:1 ratio (e.g., 200 psi inlet reduced to 50 psi outlet).

Q: Can the Wilkins 2-600XL be installed vertically or horizontally?

A: Yes, the Zurn 2-600XL may be installed in any position. For pit, vault, or inside applications, specify the "SC" sealed cage option.

Q: How do I adjust the pressure on this valve?

A: Use a downstream pressure gauge to verify the correct pressure setting. Do not bottom the adjustment bolt on the bell housing. The standard model is factory preset at 50 psi with a reduced pressure range of 25-75 psi.
