7 Important Steps for Designing Pressure Reduction Valves
It is important to size a pressure reduction valve (PRV) to suit the flow rate that passes through it. You should not necessarily match the inlet pipe size as this can lead to over-sizing of the PRV and oversizing the PRV has adverse effects on the system such as causing undesired noise and also damaging the PRV seal.
Our Mission of Overcoming Plumbing Design Defects
Whilst this cost does not always get repaid by the engineer, the price is paid in a damaged relationship.
Our mission is to reduce this percentage. We believe defects from the design phase should not be accepted as an industry standard.
Designing RPZ Backflow Prevention Valves
As an example, if you were connecting a potable water supply to the HVAC system, this would require backflow prevention because of the chemicals used in the HVAC system.
Gas Pipe Sizing in 4 Simple Steps
When undertaking gas pipe sizing, the pressure loss through the pipes cannot exceed the difference between the starting pressure and the pressure required at the appliances.
