Model Number Explanation

• The VRP-B-CH pilot is available in four different models to
cover sensing pressures from 3 psig to 1500 psig.
• The number expressed in the VRP model designation is the
maximum sensing pressure (for example, a VRP-B-600-CH
has a maximum sensing pressure of 600 psig).

Identification Tag

Each unit has a stainless steel control tag fastened under one of
the bolts of the spring cartridge. The range of the control spring
is stamped on the face side of the tag. The shipping date and
seven-character part number are stamped on the bottom side
of the tag. The letter after the seven-digit part number identify
the pilot revision series.
