OverviewHydraulically operated control valve combining independent pressure sustaining and pressure reducing functions. It sustains a pre-set minimum upstream pressure regardless of downstream fluctuations, and prevents downstream pressure from exceeding a pre-set maximum irrespective of upstream surges.
Features & Benefits- Robust piston-actuated structure – suitable for high-pressure service
- Line-pressure driven – independent control
- Elegant simplicity
- Cost effective
- Easy maintenance
- Minimal external accessories
- In-line serviceable – easy maintenance
- Double-chamber design
- Moderated valve reaction
- Moderated closing curve
- Flexible design – easy addition of features
- Semi-straight flow – non-turbulent flow
- Stainless Steel raised seat – cavitation damage resistant
- Obstacle-free, full-bore – uncompromising reliability
- V-Port throttling plug (optional) – very stable at low flow
Typical Applications- Municipal water systems – reducing pressure at potable water connections
- Water delivery networks – prioritizing upstream over downstream demand
- Distribution systems – maintaining upstream pressure during pressure drops
