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.
This dual-pilot valve reduces downstream pressure while sustaining a minimum upstream pressure. The sustaining pilot protects the upstream network from excessive pressure loss, while the reducing pilot maintains the selected downstream pressure as flow demand changes.
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
Electrostatic epoxy powder coating with a minimum dry-film thickness of 250 μm, suitable for potable-water applications.
