MANUAL PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE
ERA Pressure Reducing Valve is hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve that reduces higher upstream pressure to lower constant downstream pressure and opens fully upon line pressure drop.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Pressure Reducing Stations; Systems Subject to Varying Supply Pressure.
HOW IT WORKS
Fully open position: When upstream pressure drops, the pilot blocks the supply pressure port and opens the drain port, venting the control chamber to the atmosphere. This fully opens the valve, minimizing head loss.
Modulating to close: The pilot switches upon pressurerise, blocking the drain port and opening the supply pressure port. This pressurizes the control chamber, forcing the valve to modulate closed.
Locked position: When sensed pressure is equal to setting, the pilot blocks both the drain and the supply pressure ports. This locks the pressure in the control chamber, freezing valve opening in its last position until conditions change.
