OverviewHydraulically operated proportional pressure reducing valve with piston actuator that reduces higher upstream pressure to a lower downstream pressure at a fixed ratio. The fixed reduction ratio is defined by valve size and plug type.
Series / Segment800 Series. Segments: Waterworks; Buildings & Construction.
Key Features & Benefits- Piston-actuated construction for high-pressure service
- Line-pressure driven pilot — independent operation without external power
- Simple, serviceable design
- Cost-effective implementation
- Easy in-line maintenance
- Minimal external accessories required
- Built-in check feature — replaces a line-sized check valve
- In-line serviceable — straightforward maintenance and inspection
- Double-chamber design
- Moderated valve reaction
- Smooth, moderated closing curve
- Flexible design — facilitates addition of optional features
- Semi-straight flow path — reduced turbulence
- Stainless steel raised seat — cavitation damage resistant
- Obstacle-free full bore — uncompromised flow capacity
- Optional V-Port throttling plug — stable control at low flow
Typical Applications- First stage in two-stage pressure reducing systems
- Municipal and national networks — pressure reduction in downhill pipelines
- Pumping stations — minimize cavitation and noise in circulation valves
Design & Operation Notes- Hydraulically operated with piston actuator designed for high-pressure service
- Fixed pressure reducing ratio determined by valve size and plug type
- Line-pressure driven pilot/control provides independent operation without external power
- Double-chamber layout and moderated closing reduce water hammer and ensure stable response
