An Overview of Water Pressure Regulator

Image
What is a Water Pressure Regulator? Water pressure regulators (sometimes called pressure reducing valves or PRV ) is a specialized plumbing valves that reduce water pressure from the main water line into your home’s line. The water pressure regulator is designed as a valve that reduces the pressure of water to a level safe for plumbing fixtures in a home. As, the name suggest this valve slow down the pressure to a minimum level before the water reaches any plumbing fixtures inside the home. Excess pressure may cause major problems to most household plumbing fixtures which can eventually cost money. A regulator lets you control the water pressure entering your home via an adjustable spring-loaded diaphragm. PRV’s is not necessary to be installed for every plumbing fixtures. This Valves can be installed in situations where water pressure is irregular or where the water supply coming through the main line at home is at a very high pressure. Where is the water pressure re...

TRUNNION MOUNTED BALL VALVE

What is Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve? The  trunnion ball valve  is a form of quarter-turn valve which uses a hollow, perforated and fixed/supported ball to control flow through it. The trunnion is available for all sizes and for all pressure classes but they are not suitable for throttling purposes. Trunnion mounted ball valves , uses a spring mechanism or line pressure assistance to drive the upstream seat against the stationary ball. The surface area exposed to the pressure through the relatively small passageway is actually just the back of the seat.   Trunnion ball valve is fixed, as it does not move with medium pressure. Trunnion ball valve has floating seats. The seats of this valves move with medium pressure to tight the ball and seal ring to ensure sealing reliability. This is widely used in valves with high pressure and big sizes Trunnion ball valve features the front ball sealing design structure. How Does it W...
