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.

Globe Valves: Maintenance, Applications and Uses

What is a Globe Valve? Globe valves (GV) are mostly in-demand in various Industries. A common use of Globe Valve is to control the flow of fluid in a pipeline and adjust the Gaps between the Globe Shaped Plug and the Ring Seat. It consists of a movable disk-type element and a ring seat in a spherical body. When Compared to other Valves, Globe Valve doesn’t Leak Much because of the Right Contact between the Disc and the Ring. The Disc available on a globe valve can be removed from a flow path. Globe Valves opening and closing is done by an actuator because the plug of a globe valve is connected to a stem that is operated by a screw. Basically, Globe valves are designed with a stem that can move up and down to regulate the flow inside the valve. Seats of this valve are designed in a plane parallel or inclined to the line of the flow. These types of valves are most commonly used to throttle, open or close flow in a piping system.
