Description
Spirax Sarco 25P pilot-operated pressure reducing valve ½” - 5” is a self-acting, pilot-operated pressure reducing valve. An external pressure-sensing line detects downstream pressure, adjusts the main valve opening, and maintains stable pressure. The valve can close when there is no downstream load. The pressure reducing valve uses a single-seat main valve with a hardened alloy valve plug. The valve body is made of ductile iron or cast steel, and the pilot valve is bolted directly to the main valve.
