The TYCO Model PRV-1A Pressure Reducing Valves, 2 in. to 8 in. (DN50 to DN200), are factory-assembled and fully trimmed valve arrangements for pressure control. They are used on water filled pipes, where it is necessary to reduce a higher inlet pressure to
a lower delivery pressure under static and/or residual flowing conditions.
The Model PRV-1A Valve is intended to automatically maintain the outlet "set pressure" (static and residual) within a close range, regardless of fluctuations in the higher pressure inlet line or varying flow rates.
The Model PRV-1A Valve is provided with a factory outlet “set pressure” of approximately 125 psi (8,6 bar); however, it may be field set to a nominal outlet “set pressure” of 90 to 175 psi (6,2 to 12,1 bar).
Typical applications
• Within the main header, as shown in Figure 1, supplying wet pipe, dry pipe, deluge, or preaction system risers, and/or a standpipe system supplying hose connections
• As part of a sectional floor control assembly, as shown in Figure 2, supplying sprinkler systems, and/or hose stations
Features
• Eliminates any required bleeding of trapped air from the diaphragm chamber during installation
• Accurate pressure control
• Epoxy coated internal and external
• One piece, one moving par t diaphragm
• In-line service
• One pilot valve sub-assembly provides for any outlet “set pressure”, that is, 90 to 175 psi (6,2 to 12,1 bar)
