Pressure Reducing Valve, 1/2 Inch, FNPT, ASSE 1003
Detailed Description
A compact, lead‑free pressure reducing valve designed to automatically regulate and maintain safe water pressure in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. Part of the 36CLF series, this valve protects downstream piping, fixtures, and appliances by reducing excessive supply pressure to a controlled range of 10–35 PSI. Constructed from durable lead‑free bronze, the valve ensures long service life and compliance with potable water standards. It features a balanced piston design and an integrated thermal expansion bypass, allowing it to relieve pressure buildup downstream and maintain consistent performance under varying flow conditions. It includes a single union FNPT connection, making installation straightforward and enabling easier servicing. A built‑in stainless steel strainer helps protect internal components from debris, while bottom access allows maintenance or cleaning without removing the valve from the pipeline. Designed to operate across a wide temperature range of 33 Degrees F to 180 Degrees F, this pressure reducing valve is ideal for maintaining stable system performance and extending the lifespan of plumbing equipment. Its rugged construction and serviceable design make it a reliable choice for contractors, plumbers, and facility maintenance professionals.
