Pressure Regulators
Pressure Regulators are manufactured with non-corrosive, high quality plastic and brass, that withstands all fertilizers and chemicals in common use providing years of trouble-free operation. The one-piece sealed regulating unit – different for each pressure option – is field replaceable and easy to maintain. Available in several sizes, pre-set pressures, and flows from .25 to 175 GPM.
Product Advantages
- Instant response to variations in pressure assuring that outlet pressure will remain constant regardless of inlet pressure.
- Non-corrosive, high quality plastic and brass bodies withstand commonly used fertilizers and chemicals.
- Sealed regulating unit with stainless steel spring and a screw are field replaceable and easy to maintain.
- Built-in operating indicator visually shows when proper outlet pressure is achieved (except 3/4″ low flow).
- Flow ranges from .25 to 175 GPM
Applications
- For use in drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.

Pressure Regulating Unit
- Quick and simple to change pressures
- One-piece sealed pressure regulating unit for each pressure option
- Pressure regulator body remains the same
- No spring colors to remember
Example :
- Given Flow Rate = 63 GPMNominal Required Pressure = 20 psi
- Using Pressure Regulator Model 2” x 6 will result in 10.5 GPM per regulating unit.
- 10.5 GPM per regulating unit will result in an output pressure of 18 psi. (See chart at right)
- Headloss of 2” x 6 Pressure Regulator at 63 GPM is 5 psi. (See chart at left)
- Design pressure at inlet of Pressure Regulator should be 18 + 5 = 23 psi
