Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV): Comprehensive Overview
Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) are essential components in many systems where maintaining a consistent downstream pressure is critical. Here’s a detailed look at our PRV offerings and their key features.
Valve Type
Our PRVs are designed as reducing valves, specifically engineered to control and reduce the pressure in a system to a safe and consistent level. This ensures that downstream equipment and systems operate within their optimal pressure range.
Material and Construction
- Brass: Known for its excellent machinability and corrosion resistance, ideal for many standard applications.
- Bronze: Offers superior strength and resistance to corrosion and wear, suitable for harsh environments.
- Stainless Steel: Provides exceptional durability and resistance to high temperatures and corrosive substances, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
These materials ensure that our PRVs are durable, reliable, and able to withstand various operating conditions.
Pressure Rating
Our PRVs come with a pressure rating that ranges from 15 psi to 300 psi. This wide range allows the valve to be used in a variety of systems, from low-pressure residential applications to high-pressure industrial settings.
Inlet/Outlet Size
The valves are available in sizes ranging from 2 inches to 8 inches. This variety ensures compatibility with different pipe sizes and flow requirements, accommodating various system designs and scales.
Pressure Setting Range
Our PRVs feature a customizable pressure setting range, allowing you to adjust the valve to maintain the desired downstream pressure. This flexibility ensures that the valve can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your system.
Flow Capacity
The PRVs are designed with an impressive flow capacity in terms of gallons per minute (GPM) or cubic meters per hour (m³/h). This high flow capacity supports efficient operation and performance, ensuring that your system maintains the required flow rates.
End Connection
Our valves offer versatile end connections, including:
- Threaded Ends: For easy and secure installation.
- Flanged Ends: Suitable for larger pipe sizes and heavy-duty applications.
- Grooved Ends: Allows for quick and reliable connections with grooved piping systems.
Operating Temperature Range
The PRVs are effective within specified temperature ranges, ensuring reliable operation across a variety of temperature conditions. This feature makes the valves suitable for use in different environments and applications.
Applications
Our PRVs are ideal for a range of applications, including:
- Water Distribution: Ensures consistent pressure in water supply systems.
- Industrial Systems: Maintains pressure levels in various industrial processes.
- HVAC Systems: Regulates pressure in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
Compliance and Standards
Our PRVs meet stringent industry standards, including:
- ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
- ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
- NSF (National Sanitation Foundation)
These certifications ensure that our PRVs comply with the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance.
