The valve is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve that sustains mini-mum preset upstream (back) pressure and reduces downstream pressure to a constant preset maximum.
Description
PRESSURE REDUCING AND SUSTAINING VALVE The valve is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve that sustains mini-mum preset upstream(back) pressure and reduces downstream pressure to a constant preset maxi-mum.

HOW IT WORKS The pressure reducing pilot valve [1] is connected to the valve control chamber [2] via the pressure sustaining pilot valve [3]. The pressure sustaining valve closes the valve when the upstream pressure [P1] is lower than the setting. When the upstream pressure [P1] rises above the setting, the pressure sustaining pilot valve is switched to allow the pressure reducing pilot valve to control the valve to reduce the downstream pressure [P2]. Local manual shut-off of the valve can be achieved by the manual selection device [4].
