The pressure reducer (pressure reducing valve, reducing valve, back pressure regulator) is a pressure valve for installation in a pipe system that ensures that a certain, defined outlet pressure (back pressure) is not exceeded on the outlet side of the valve despite different pressures or fluctuating pressures on the inlet side (inlet pressure, inlet pressure). The prerequisite is a higher pressure at the inlet.
The pressure reducers are preset and are suitable for outdoor use. They can be installed above or below ground. Installation within a valve shaft is ideal.
Irrigation systems display a maximum operating pressure for the various components. The pressure reducer for irrigation systems can be connected upstream of each sub-circuit, ensuring that the respective irrigation circuit receives the optimum maximum pressure. The inlet pressure must always be higher than the outlet pressure of the pressure regulator.
