Buying Guide: Zurn Pressure Valves

Pressure Reducing Valves
Zurn pressure reducing valves are made for potable water lines to reduce high inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure. The 600XL has a separate strainer cap that allows strainer cleaning to be done rapidly in sandy or debris laden water, and the 1-70XLC comes standard with a 20 mesh strainer screen. Connection types include FNPT, FIP and copper sweat union.

Vacuum Breakers and Repair Kits
The 720A pressure vacuum breaker assembly protects against backsiphonage in irrigation water lines and is used in high hazard applications. Repair kits for the Model 720 include canopy screws, a canopy, a bonnet, a bonnet washer and a bonnet O-ring. Match the model number and size on your old part before ordering.

Faucets and Flush Parts
The Z6915-XL-MV is a 4 inch deck-mount chrome lavatory faucet with a battery-powered infrared sensor for hands-free operation. Zurn also offers a gray chrome flush retrofit kit with a low battery indicator light and a switchable 24 hour auto flush. Check your fixture's mounting before ordering.
