1 1 2 pressure reducing valve
The 1 1 2 pressure reducing valve represents a critical component in fluid control systems, designed to maintain consistent downstream pressure regardless of fluctuating inlet pressure conditions. This precision engineered device automatically reduces higher inlet pressure to a lower, regulated outlet pressure, ensuring stable system operation. The valve features a robust brass or stainless steel construction, incorporating a high precision sensing element and adjustable spring mechanism that responds instantly to pressure variations. Its primary function involves protecting downstream equipment from potentially damaging high pressure conditions while maintaining precise pressure control within specified parameters. The valve operates through a balanced design principle, where the diaphragm or piston assembly responds to changes in downstream pressure, automatically adjusting the valve position to maintain the desired outlet pressure. Key technological features include an integrated strainer to prevent debris from affecting valve performance, a pressure gauge port for monitoring, and an adjustable pressure setting mechanism. The 1 1 2 pressure reducing valve finds extensive applications in municipal water supply systems, industrial process control, irrigation systems, and commercial building water management. Its reliability and precision make it particularly valuable in applications requiring consistent pressure control for optimal system performance and equipment protection.
