Water Pressure Reducing Valve
South American Valve is a leading Water pressure reducing valve supplier in Peru. We supply to Chile, Colombia, Argentina and Mexico. A water pressure reducing valve, also known as a pressure regulator valve, is a type of valve that is designed to reduce the pressure of the water that flows through a pipe. It is typically installed in a water supply system where the water pressure is too high and needs to be regulated to prevent damage to pipes, appliances, and other equipment.

The function of a water pressure reducing valve is to regulate the flow of water and maintain a consistent pressure level. This is accomplished by using a spring-loaded diaphragm that reacts to changes in water pressure, adjusting the valve opening accordingly to maintain a consistent flow. When the water pressure is too high, the diaphragm is compressed against the valve seat, which reduces the size of the opening and restricts the flow of water. Conversely, when the water pressure is too low, the diaphragm expands, which increases the size of the opening and allows more water to flow through.

Applications

Water Pressure Reducing valves are commonly used in domestic water supply systems to regulate the water pressure and protect the pipes, appliances, and other equipment from damage.
Irrigation systems in agriculture and landscaping often require Water Pressure Reducing valves to regulate the water pressure and ensure that the water is distributed evenly.
Fire protection systems, such as sprinkler systems, require Water Pressure Reducing valves to maintain the appropriate water pressure and ensure that the system operates correctly during an emergency.
Many industrial applications, such as manufacturing plants, power plants, and chemical processing facilities, require Water Pressure Reducing valves to regulate the water pressure and protect equipment from damage.
Municipal water supply systems often use Water Pressure Reducing valves to regulate the water pressure and protect the pipes and infrastructure from damage.
Water Pressure Reducing valves are used in marine and offshore applications to regulate the water pressure and protect the pipes and equipment from damage caused by high-pressure seawater.
