Functions:
•Reduces a higher upstream pressure to a steady lower downstream pressure regardless of variations in flow and/or upstream pressure.
•Closes and restores distribution by manual control.
Sample applications:
• Controlling and linking staged networks.
• Supplying a low-pressure network from a high-pressure network.
• Balancing supply to a gridiron system from several supplies with different higher pressures.

Good to know! Pressure reducing control represents more than 60% of the application world wide! Accuracy and reliability are the keys to have a network stabilized and to prevent leakage!
Technician corner:
• We recommend to install a strainer at the inlet of ACV to avoid any damages due to a piece of wood or a stone inside the control valve.
• 2 isolating valves installed at the inlet and outlet offer an easier maintenance if needed on the strainer, and also a quick setting.
• Between the control valve and the gate valve downstream, we recommend to install a dismantling joint which allows faster installation.
