Watts announced the launch of the LFUSG-CS Under Sink Guardian, a patented point-of-use mixing valve with a proprietary Cross Sense Indicator. It is a point-of-use mixing valve engineered to simplify diagnosis and repair through visual indication and a replaceable strainer cartridge. Color-coded indicators display status information, including normal operation, idle conditions, crossflow at hot or cold inlets or improper installation. The patented Cross Sense Indicator represents the new visual diagnostic technology in an inline, point-of-use mixing valve

The design of the LFUSG-CS supports proactive service rather than reactive replacement when a malfunctioning fixture cannot easily be identified. Its replaceable strainer cartridge includes a built-in check valve and dual 40 mesh stainless steel strainers, allowing maintenance to be completed without removing the valve body. The LFUSG-CS is intended for under-sink installations in commercial and institutional buildings where access is limited. Built-in visual diagnostics provide feedback during maintenance, allowing issues to be identified and addressed more quickly. The patented upgrade solution features installation between the shutoff valves and the faucet and includes four compression nuts and a cold water outlet cap for a three-port application.
