1. See Table 1 for structural design ratings, Table 3 for pilot ratings and Table 10 for maximum pressure ratings.
2. The white and yellow springs are only recommended for inlet pressures under 100 psig / 6.9 bar.
3. The red, black, purple, red stripe and black with white stripe springs are only recommended for applications where the maximum inlet pressure can exceed 500 psig / 34.5 bar.
4. 18B5955X012 (Red) is used on constructions with travel indicator while GE05504X012 (Purple) is used on non-travel indicator constructions.

Principle of Operation

As long as the outlet (control) pressure is above the
outlet pressure setting, the pilot valve plug or disk 
remains closed (Figure 2). Force from the main spring,
in addition to inlet pressure bleeding through the
Type 112 restrictor (the restrictor is integral in the
PRX Series pilots), provides downward loading
pressure to keep the main valve diaphragm and plug 
assembly tightly shutoff.
When the outlet pressure decreases below the pilot
outlet pressure setting, the pilot plug or disk assembly 
opens. Loading pressure bleeds downstream through 
the pilot faster than it can be replaced through the
Type 112 restrictor. This reduces loading pressure on

top of the main valve diaphragm and plug assembly.
The force imbalance on the diaphragm allows the inlet
pressure to overcome the loading pressure and main
spring force and open the Type EZR diaphragm and
plug assembly.
As the outlet pressure rises toward the outlet pressure
setting, it compresses the pilot diaphragm against the
pilot control spring and allows the pilot valve plug or
disk close. Loading pressure begins building on the 
Type EZR diaphragm and plug assembly. The loading
pressure, along with force from the main spring,
pushes the diaphragm and plug assembly onto the
tapered-edged seat, producing tight shutoff.
