life, this product must be subject to regular visual inspection and pressure testing, with cleaning or repair as needed. If the end user

is also recommended that a suitable strainer be installed upstream of the valve. Anytime a pressure reducing valve is adjusted, a
pressure gauge must be used downstream to verify correct pressure setting. Do not bottom out adjustment bolt on bell housing.
Where the desired pressure reduction is more than a 3 to 1 ratio (i.e. 225psi to 75psi), or inlet pressure is above 150 PSI multiple
regulators in series are recommended to be installed to prolong valve life.
