Function
Pressure reducing valves are devices which, when
installed on water systems, reduce and stabilize the
pressure of the water entering from the water supply
main. This pressure, in general, is too high and
variable for domestic systems to operate correctly.
The PresCal™ 535H series pressure reducing valves,
ideal for residential and commercial applications, feature
a dial indicator with direct readout allowing easy pressure
pre-adjustment. After installation, the valve will control at
the pre-adjusted pressure setting.
The valve is constructed of DZR low-lead forged brass
and incorporates a unique noise reducing and high
flow seat design, is easily serviced with a replaceable
cartridge and has an integral stainless steel filter
(35 mesh), suitable for water systems that may
contain sediment and debris.
The valve complies with standards ASSE 1003, CSA
B356, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 (180 °F/82 °C Commercial
Hot), NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 and codes IPC, IRC, UPC
and NPC certified by ICC-ES. The valve is also plenum
rated: compliant with the requirements of standard UL
2043, without the outdoor protective cover.

  • Page 7: Installation Recommendations

    Installation Each 535H PRV comes with a snap-on protective cover which is designed to resist UV rays, for outdoor locations, and to provide a significant level of protection against dust, dirt and water. It does not protect against freezing; do not mount the valve in locations where it may freeze. Protective cover not approved for use in plenum installations.
  • Page 8 When installing the pressure reducing valve upstream of a hot water tank, installing an expansion tank, or similar, is recommended to absorb the increase in pressure due to the thermal expansion of water. When installing in large buildings, short pipes or expansion valves, and/or similar equipment, is recommended to limit the increased pressure due to the thermal expansion of water caused by temperature changes downstream of the pressure reducing valve itself (or downstream of the first and second stage pressure reducing valves, if two are used).
  • Page 9 PVC jumper nipple with male union thread. The length of the jumper nipple matches the 535H valve face-to-face dimension, allowing the piping to be completed prior to the installation of valve and permitting quick change out from the jumper to the valve. Face-to-Face Code Description...
  • Page 10: Maintenance

    Maintenance The pressure reducing valve must be checked and serviced to comply with applicable regulations. Even when installed, commissioned and serviced properly, the pressure reducing valve's internal components are subject to normal wear and tear, which may result in leaks and other malfunctions.
  • Page 11: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting System failures are not always caused by the pressure reducing valve. Most frequently: 1. Increased downstream pressure in the presence of a water heater If the downstream pressure increases beyond the desired setting due to an inline water heater, install an expansion t a n k b e t w e e n t h e p r e s s u r e r e d u c i n g valve and the water heater to absorb t h e...
