The water pressure reducing valve lowers the pressure of high-pressure mains water
and is designed to prevent damage to the pipework and to the appliances
connected to it.
Water Pressure Reducing Valves:
- Prevents damage caused by water hammer.
- Prevents noise caused by pressurized water.
- Saves water by balancing the pressure. In laboratory tests,
Reducing a pressure of 7.8 bar to 3 bar has been shown to save 25%
of total water consumption.
- Protect washing machines, dishwashers, combi boilers and water heaters
from the harmful effects of high-pressure water.
* Not for use with air or gas; designed for water only.
How Does a Water Pressure Reducing Valve Work?
The operating principle of water pressure reducing valves is based on the balance
of two opposing forces.
These forces are:
1- The force exerted by the compressed spring
2- The force exerted by the water pressure on the piston
If the spring force is greater than the force acting on the piston, the piston
moves downward; if it is smaller, the piston moves upward, and
this regulates the outlet pressure in a controlled way.
