Questions about this item
Will the Class 150 rating hold up on a steam line running all day?
Yes, the Class 150 rating allows a maximum operating pressure of 175 psi at 150 degrees F, which covers continuous steam service at that temperature.
Does the galvanized cast iron run hotter or noisier than brass on a pumped circuit?
The material does not generate heat or noise itself; temperature and vibration come from the fluid and pump, not the bushing.
