Pressure Reducing Valves











Pressure Reducing Valves
RV03 Series Water Pressure Reducing Valves are designed to regulate incoming potable water pressure to protect plumbing system components and reduce water consumption. The valve is suitable for supply pressures up to 400 psi (27.6 bar), is factory set to 50 psi, and may be adjusted from 10 to 75 psi (69 to 517 kPa). Optionally available with factory preset pressure to suit customer requirements (must specify).
Available Sizes






PRV used in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial applications
All parts, including the strainer, are quickly and easily serviceable without removing the valve from the line. The Integral Bypass prevents excessive downstream pressure caused by thermal expansion. The RV03 is designed to provide longevity with smooth, quiet operation under a wide range of inlet pressure and flow variations.
