PN-DR pneumatic direct-acting pressure reducing valve provides a more stable secondary pressure than conventional direct-acting reducing valves. The PN-DR is designed for a long service life, and is made of stainless steel for superior durability. For products with special order specifications or options, if detailed...
• The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety: be sure to observe all of them as they relate to installation, use, maintenance, and repair. Furthermore, TLV accepts no responsibility for any accidents or damage occurring as a result of failure to observe these precautions.

If an on-off valve is required to stop supply of steam or air to the equipment, install it at the inlet side of the PN-DR. If a solenoid valve is installed at the outlet of the PN-DR, it will cause heavy chattering and may lead to damage of the PN-DR. (When the on-off valve opens, the secondary pressure of the reducing valve changes from zero to the set pressure.

4. Precautions for the Installation of Additional Fittings Before or After the PN-DR In order to ensure a stable flow of air or steam, the piping upstream and downstream of the reducing valve must be straight runs. If a pressure reducing valve is installed either directly before or after an elbow or control valve, unevenness in flow may result in chattering and unstable pressure.

3. Tolerance Angle for Installation Make sure the PN-DR is installed on horizontal piping with the adjustment handle facing up. Ensure the raised TLV lettering on the body is horizontal and the arrow is pointing in the direction of flow.

3. Turn the adjustment handle counterclockwise to free the coil spring. 4. Slowly, fully open the shut-off valve at the inlet of the PN-DR. 5. Slightly open the shut-off valve at the outlet of the PN-DR. 6. Slowly turn the adjustment handle clockwise until the desired secondary (steam or air) pressure is obtained with the pressure of the coil spring.
Remove all steam/pressurized air from the piping (both upstream and downstream). Remove all motive air pressure. Wait for the body to cool before attempting to remove the PN-DR from the line. Then remove the PN-DR from the piping, and secure it in a vise to perform the inspection.
