Common misconceptions about Pressure Regulators
• A pressure regulator cannot increase pressure. If upstream pressure drops below the set point, downstream pressure will also...a pressure regulator does not function like a pump.
Series PRE • Extended set pressure range: Excellent performance in a standard, spring-type regulator; available pipe sizes 3/4" and 1". Compact profile, all-plastic set screw. Seal materials are EPDM and FKM. |
Series PR • Premium performance, Lower (5-50 psi) set range: Superior flow, 1/4" through 3" sizes incorporates a poppet seat, double u-cups, large area rolling diaphragm and one piece body construction. A pressure balanced shaft assures smooth and stable control, while the valve design provides excellent flow performance.

Series PRHM • Premium performance, Complete (5-125 psi) set range, 1/2", 3/4" and 1" sizes: Series PRHM is a molded version of Series PR/PRH with a complete set pressure range. Design incorporates a poppet seat, double u-cups, large area rolling diaphragm and one piece body construction. A pressure balanced shaft assures smooth and stable control, while the valve design provides excellent flow performance.

Series PRH • Premium performance, High (30-125 psi) set range: Series PRH is based on the same heavy duty architecture as Series PR (above) with a higher set pressure range and higher flow performance.
Design incorporates a poppet seat, double u-cups, large area rolling diaphragm and one piece body construction. A pressure balanced shaft assures smooth and stable control, while the valve design provides excellent flow performance.

Series PRD • Differential pressure regulator: Series PRD is a differential pressure regulator based on Series PR (above) with two threaded ports. One port is for a downstream pressure sensing line, the other is fitted with a bleed screw to exhaust air from the housing. Otherwise, design is identical to Series PR. The sensing line feeds the pressure downstream (P3) of the equipment being protected to the top of the spring housing (also P3).
This pressure assists the spring in keeping the regulator open against the pressure directly at the regulator outlet (P2).
When pressure downstream begins to drop (as it would when a filter becomes more and more clogged), the regulator begins to close and becomes fully closed when the differential setting is reached. This assures against overpressure across the bank of filters or whatever the equipment may be. The differential pressure setting is P2 minus P3.

Series PRA • Air loaded pressure regulator: Series PRA uses the standard air from a compressor instead of a spring to generate the force needed to regulate pressure. It is based on the same heavy duty architecture as Series PR (above) with a significantly broader set pressure range and improved performance. Design incorporates a poppet seat, double u-cups, large area rolling diaphragm and one piece body construction. A pressure balanced shaft assures smooth and stable control, while the valve design provides excellent flow performance. |
