Installation Instructions
The Watts Governor 80-M1 is for both existing
and new installations providing an auxiliary relief
feature, a safe antisiphon vacuum breaker and
truly dependable fill valve assembly.
The non-adjustable thermal expansion relief valve
is set standardly at 80psi (552 kPa), 100psi (6.9
bar), or 125psi (8.6 bar) with a maximum operat-
ing temperature of 110°F (135ºC) to meet existing
codes. The Watts Governor 80 is available in three
standard lengths: 10", 11 1 ⁄
2
" or 12 1 ⁄
2
". Be sure
maximum water level mark is even with or
above the top of the overflow tube.
Important: This is a control device that limits
system pressure in the event of thermal expansion.
It does not take the place of any safety relief
devices that are required by code. If the incom-
ing water pressure exceeds 65psi (448 kPa), a
pressure reducing valve must be installed at the
service entrance. If the system already contains a
pressure reducing valve, be sure it is set no higher
than 65psi (448 kPa) under a no-flow condition.

7. Attach refill tube provided onto connector of ball
cock. Then clip the opposite end of refill tube onto
the overflow tube of flush valve so that the end of
refill tube is pointing into the overflow tube.
8. Your new ball cock is ready to use. Turn on
water. Examine for leaks. With no leaks appar-
ent, flush toilet and check for proper water level
of tank when full.
Sometimes slight adjustments have to be made
to maintain the proper water level in the tank. This
can be done by slightly bending the float rod. Bend
rod upward to allow more water into the tank or
bend downward to reduce water level.
