SAFETY GUIDE The model RE1 is a direct acting pressure reducing valve designed for use in stream lines. In order to get maximum benefit from this product, be sure to read this manual before installing it. The following warnings and cautions are shown at appropriate places in this manual.
Primary pressure range (PRIMARY P.): Range of the pressure in the primary side at which the pressure reducing valve will operate properly. RE1: 0.2-1.6MPa (29-230psig) RE1-4, RE1-2: 0.2-1.0MPa (29-145psig) Secondary pressure range (SECONDARY P.): The range of reduced pressure on the secondary side that can be set.
INSTALLATION WARNING Do not touch the pressure reducing valve, safety valve (relief valve) or the opening section on the pipe outlet side with your bare hand. If there is steam present, you may be seriously injured. Before supply of steam, check whether there will be any danger if the steam reaches the end of the pipe and whether all the pipe joints have been connected.

6) Install a steam trap on the secondary side of the pressure reducing valve so that the condensate can be discharged when equipment or systems stop being used. 7) The pressure reducing valve should be installed in a horizontal pipe with the operating part including the adjust unit turned upward.

10) Avoid using the pressure reducing valves in parallel. The pressure reducing valve is self-actuated type, and each has its own variation in sensitivity and responsiveness to pressure. Therefore, since two pressure reducing valves cannot be activated exactly in the same way, only one valve would actually be doing the work. That’s why they need to be used independently.

13) When using a control valve on the secondary side of the pressure reducing valve, install the control valve so that the distance between the pressure reducing valve and the control valve is 2 m (6.6 ft) or more.(Otherwise, the pressure reducing valve operation may be unstable.) 2 m (6.6 ft) Control valve...

16) Secure or support the pipe so that any load, bending or vibration in the pipe is not transmitted directly to the pressure reducing valve. 17) Most complaints about direct acting pressure reducing valves installed in new pipes or in pipes that have not been used for a long time are due to dirt and scale in the pipes.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT METHOD WARNING Since the handle gets hot when the pressure is adjusted, wear work gloves or leather gloves. Otherwise, you may be burned. Do not touch the pressure reducing valve, the safety valve (relief valve) or the opening section on the pipe outlet side with your bare hand.
MAINTENANCE WARNING Before removing the pressure reducing valve from the pipe or disassembling it, be sure to close the stop valves at the inlet and outlet of the pressure reducing valve. Then, release the remaining pressure in the pressure reducing valve body (check whether the pressure in the body has reached 0 MPa (0 bar)), and let it cool down completely (check whether the surface temperature of the body is at room temperature).
