Model PRV-1A Pressure Reducing Valve
Pilot Operated
General
Description
The TYCO Model PRV-1
Reducing Valves, 2 in. to 8 in. (DN50
to DN200), are factory-assembled and
fully trimmed valve arrangements for
pressure control. They are used on
water filled pipes, where it is neces-
sary to reduce a higher inlet pressure to
a lower delivery pressure under static
and/or residual flowing conditions.
Valve is intended to
The Model PRV-1
A
automatically maintain the outlet "set
pressure" (static and residual) within
a close range, regardless of fluctua-
tions in the higher pressure inlet line or
varying flow rates.
The Model PRV-1
Valve is provided
A
with a factory outlet "set pressure"
of approximately 125 psi (8,6 bar);
however, it may be field set to a nominal
outlet "set pressure" of 90 to 175 psi
(6,2 to 12,1 bar).
Typical applications
• Within the main header, as shown
in Figure 1, supplying wet pipe, dry
pipe, deluge, or preaction system ris-
ers, and/or a standpipe system sup-
plying hose connections
• As part of a sectional floor control
assembly, as shown in Figure 2,
supplying sprinkler systems, and/or
hose stations

Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.

Owners are responsible for maintaining
their fire protection system and devices
in proper operating condition. Contact
the installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer with any questions.
Due to the flow regulating characteris-
tic of this device, its impact on system
hydraulics should be carefully consid-
ered, especially when retrofitted into
existing systems.
