The BERMAD Direct Acting Pressure Reducer is actuated by a pressure responsive piston, which seeks to reach equilibrium between hydraulic and set spring force. The BERMAD Model 2”-PRV brass body and reinforced plastic actuator assembly endow it with excellent hydraulic performance capabilities and particularly high mechanical strength. Supplied with a special throttling plug, it reduces higher upstream pressure to lower constant downstream pressure even under conditions of near zero demand, and seals drip-tight under no-flow conditions.
