                            LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
                                       FOR
                              SECTION 16(a) FILINGS


      Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints each of William C. McCartney, Lester J. Taufen, and Ronald W. Gorski,
signing singly, the undersigned's only true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity
as an officer, director and/or stockholder of Watts Industries, Inc. (the
"Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 and amendments thereto in accordance with Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, or 5
and any amendments thereto and timely file such forms with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority;
and

(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever which, in the opinion of such
attorney-in-fact, may be necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing
authority, it being understood that the documents executed by such
attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney
shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such
attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such

serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming,
nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact. This Power of Attorney may be filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission as a confirming statement of the
authority granted herein.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 24th day of September, 2002.
