Application
Nahrab pilot-operated automatic control valves regulate pressure and flow in water pipelines without external power. A hydraulic control circuit uses the pressure difference across the valve and a precision pilot to maintain stable downstream pressure as upstream pressure and flow demand change.
The pressure-reducing valve automatically converts variable high upstream pressure into a lower, stable downstream pressure. If downstream demand stops and pressure rises above the pilot setting, the valve closes automatically to prevent excessive hydrostatic pressure.
Product features and advantages
- Automatic operation without an external energy source.
- Accurate downstream pressure control through a pilot-operated diaphragm system.
- Low weight for easier installation and maintenance.
- Flange drilling in accordance with EN 1092-2 and DIN 2501.
- Face-to-face dimensions in accordance with DIN EN 558-1, Series 1 (DIN 3202-F1).
- Final valve testing in accordance with DIN EN 12266-1.
- Low vibration and noise during operation.
- Reduced wear in hard-water service compared with piston-operated systems.
Corrosion protection
