Dimensions The example shows a main valve with two pilot valves mounted in the bypass line. The dimensions are intended as guidelines. In particular cases, the overall dimensions vary depending on the installed regulators and the conditions on site. The minimum distance of the bypass line connections to the main valve depend on the length L of the main valve, the nominal size DN of the main line and the direction of flow.
