The pressure reducer (pressure-reducing valve, back-pressure regulator) is a pressure-relief valve for installation in a line system that ensures a specific, defined outlet pressure (back pressure) is not exceeded on the outlet side of the valve despite different pressures or fluctuating pressures on the inlet side (inlet pressure, primary pressure). The prerequisite for this is a higher pressure at the inlet.
The pressure reducers are pre-set and suitable for outdoor use. They can be installed above or below ground. Installation inside a valve shaft is ideal.
Sprinkler systems indicate a maximum operating pressure for the various components. The pressure reducer for irrigation systems can be connected upstream of any pitch circle, thus ensuring that the respective irrigation circuit receives the optimum maximum pressure. The inlet pressure must always be higher than the outlet pressure of the pressure regulator.
