Wilkins NR3XL 2-inch Pressure Reducing Valve, Lead-Free
The Wilkins NR3XL 2-inch pressure reducing valve provides reliable pressure regulation for residential and light-commercial water systems. Lead-free construction, an integral stainless steel strainer, and an integral bypass check protect downstream plumbing while simplifying maintenance.
- Durable materials: Low-lead cast bronze body with a UV-resistant polymer composite bell housing for corrosion resistance and fast access to internals.
- Serviceable design: Cartridge-loaded repair design and threaded bell allow quick field servicing without removing the valve from the line.
- Integral protection: 300-series stainless steel strainer screen captures sediment and an internal bypass check prevents excessive thermal expansion buildup.
- Adjustable pressure: Factory preset at 50 psi with an adjustable reduced-pressure range of 25–75 psi to meet common plumbing and irrigation requirements.
- Connections & fit: FNPT union x FNPT connections and a short lay length make it suitable for tight installations; multiple tailpiece options support solderless connections.
- Rated for potable water: Brass stem and 302 stainless spring trim, EPDM/Buna nitrile elastomers, NSF/ANSI 61 compliance, and rated for temperatures up to 140°F.
Compact, water-conserving and easy to maintain, the NR3XL is an excellent choice for irrigation, single-family and multifamily applications. Routine maintenance includes cleaning the strainer screen and replacing cartridge repair kits as needed; consult the included specification sheet and installation manual for sizing, assembly options, and replacement parts.
