Apollo 36ELF10301T water pressure reducing valve regulates incoming water pressure, safeguarding plumbing systems and curbing water usage. Suited for commercial and industrial setups, it upholds steady and secure pressure levels, preventing potential harm to pipes, appliances and fixtures.

Features:

• It is crafted from lead-free bronze for high ductility and corrosion resistance.
• This Apollo water pressure regulator features a pressure adjustment range of 15 to 75 psi for catering to wide pressure requirements.
• It provides FNPT connection to prevent leakage and for easy installation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is Apollo 36ELF10301T water pressure-reducing valve suitable for both hot and cold water systems?

A. Yes, the valve is designed to work with both hot and cold water systems. However, make sure the temperature of the water does not exceed the valve's maximum operating range of 180 degrees F.

Q. How to maintain this Apollo water pressure regulator?

A. Regular maintenance involves inspecting the valve for debris, sediment buildup and potential leaks. Flushing the valve periodically helps prevent clogs and ensures optimal performance.

Q. What is the difference between a pressure reducing valve and a relief valve?

A. Pressure-reducing valves find application when maintaining uniform pressure levels across a system is vital, whereas pressure-relief valves are employed to avert extreme overpressure situations within the system.

Q. How do I choose the correct sized pressure valve for my application?

A. Choosing the appropriate size for the control valve involves ensuring its operation falls within the range of 60 to 80% openness during peak flow and ideally remains above 20% openness during minimal flow requirements.
