Series RPV Reducing Pressure Valve is used where cost and/or space limitations are the primary concern. The Reducing Pressure Valve is a rugged and economical choice for use on steam irons, autoclaves, laundry mangles, single radiators, steam tables, vulcanizers, steam, water or gas applications. Series RPV is a highly sensitive, compact, moderately priced steam, water or gas regulator designed to handle the majority of lower capacity process requirements.
Notable features of the Reducing Pressure Valve include spherical seating surface on floating stainless steel disc for tight shutoff and an integral stainless steel strainer. The RPV is direct acting and has an ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class IV shut-off. Another unique feature of the Reducing Pressure Valve is an adjustable aspirator that is designed to improve the performance and capacity. This feature also permits the user to tune the valve to a specific installation. The capacity and sensitivity are enhanced while minimizing droop by utilizing different adjusting spring ranges. Please refer to bulletin V-9-RPV for sizing and capacity tables.
