3 . Install strainer at the primary side of pressure reducing valve.

4 . For devices that cannot be stopped, install bypass piping (with stop valve) from the primary side to the secondary side of pressure reducing valve. If
bypass piping is not suitable, then install blowing stop valve, which is derived from the main pipe before the primary side of pressure reducing valve, so
as to make flushing possible.

5 . Install straight piping, stop valve, and pressure gauge before and after pressure reducing valve.
If end connection of pressure reducing valve is realized using screw, then use union joint to make it easy to fix and remove.
※ The diameter of piping before and after pressure reducing valve should be determined based on the standard velocity of flow of fluid.
Generally, since the nominal diameter of secondary piping of pressure reducing valve for steam and gasses is larger than the diameter of pressure
reducing valve , it is necessary to use reducer.

6 . If you install solenoid valve (on/off o peration ) or control valve at the secondary side of pressure reducing valve, there should be an interval (L) between such
solenoid valve or control valve and pressure reducing valve. The interval (L) should be larger than 2m in the case of solenoid valve.As for control valve, the
interval should be larger than 1m if nominal diameter is less than 100 mm , and larger than 1.5m if nominal diameter is larger than 125 mm (see Fig.3).

7 . In the case of 2-step pressure reduction, the interval between 2 valves should be 1~2m (see Fig.4).
Fig.3 INTERVAL BETWEEN PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE AND CONTROL VALVE Fig.4 INTERVAL BETWEEN VALVES (2-STEP PRESSURE REDUCTION)
 8. For pressure reducing valve for steam, “hunting” or vibration may occur if drain accumulates.
To prevent hunting and vibration, it is necessary to prevent drain from entering into the piping or install stem trap at the primary side.
In addition, since pressure reducing valve cannot be closed completely, it is necessary to install steam trap at the secondary side if the amount of steam used
is near zero.

Fig.5: Proper installation Fig.6:Inproper installation

9. Make sure sufficient space is left for maintenance.

10. Apply appropriate support to pressure reducing valve to make sure it does not bear the weight of piping, bending force, or vibration directly.

11. If you think there is possibility of freezing, insulate or discharge the drain.

12. The secondary pressure of the valve is not adjusted at delivery.

Therefore, you should adjust the secondary pressure to the ADJUSTING SECONDARY PRESSURE
desired pressure before use. For RP-6 series and RD-40 series.
※ The secondary pressure of a non-adjusted valve is near to zero.
※ How to adjust the secondary pressure:
1 Close the stop valves at primary and secondary sides.
2 Open the blowing stop valve or stop valve in bypass and remove
any content inside. Such operation is called flushing and should be
carried out sufficiently by spending sufficient time on it.Take care not
to make the secondary pressure rise excessively.
3 Close the stop valve in by pass or blowing stop valve completely.
4 Make sure there is not any spring load caused by adjusting screw.
5 Open the stop valve at primary side gradually. OTHER PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES
6 Make sure you have adjusted the secondary pressure. Open the stop valve at the secondary
side slightly to allow small flow.
7 Apply a small spring load using handle or adjusting screw.
Once the fluid start flowing, open the stop valve at the secondary side gradually.
8 Read the pressure gauge and apply more spring load to make the pressure reaching the
set pressure. The pressure rises if you turn the handle or adjusting screw in the right
direction and falls if you turn them in the left direction.
9 Once the desired pressure is reached, use the lock nut to lock the adjusting screw.
After the screw is locked, the spring load will not change.

DIAMETER OF PIPING BEFORE AND AFTER PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE

The nominal diameter of pressure reducing valve can be determined using relevant graphs made for such purpose. The diameter of piping before and after
pressure reducing valve must be determined base on the standard velocity of fluid.
Extremely small diameter or large velocity of fluid may cause large loss of pressure inside the piping and wearing, vibration of the piping. Therefore, it is
necessary to consider the standard velocity of fluid when determining the diameter of piping.
