Pressure regulator, potable water, DVGW not nec., R 1, 1.5-12 bar - Riegler 101368

Pressure regulator for potable water, DVGW not necessary, incl. pressure gauge, Brass sieve cup, R 1, Control range 1.5 - 12 bar Diaphragm pressure regulators with pressure-reduced single-seated valve and built-in strainer. These pressure regulators, which are independent of inlet pressure, protect domestic water installations against excessive supply pressure. They can also be used for commercial or industrial purposes providing their specification is adequate.

About Pressure regulators

Pressure regulators hold the outlet pressure steady even when inlet pressure varies or consumption changes. The range covers control ranges starting between 0 and 5 bar and ending between 1 and 200 bar, with inlet pressures up to 60 bar. Ports run from G 1/8 to G 2.

What matters when choosing

• Control range: lower limits sit between 0 and 5 bar, upper limits between 1 and 200 bar. Keep the working pressure inside the range rather than at its edge.
• Flow rate from 1000 to 50000 l/min: the regulator has to cover peak demand, otherwise secondary pressure drops away on every load peak.
• Medium: besides compressed air and neutral gases there are versions for drinking water, nitrogen and argon, plus variants for ultra-fine filtered oil-free air down to 0.01 µm.
• Body material: aluminium, aluminium die-cast, brass, zinc die-cast, technopolymer, PA66 GF60, stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) and gunmetal in the Rg5, CC499K and 2.1096.01 grades.
• Series: alongside the mechanical FUTURA, SYNTESI, multifix, variobloc, inline and Standard lines, the electronically controlled REGTRONIC 300 and 400 series handle setpoint-driven applications.

Typical applications

• Holding a steady working pressure at machines and air tools
• Reducing mains pressure to the level required by individual sub-circuits
• Setpoint-driven pressure control on test rigs using the electronic versions
• Pressure reduction in drinking water lines
• Feeding test and measuring rigs with nitrogen or argon

Sealing materials include NBR, FKM, FPM, EPDM, SBR, PU, HNBR and TPU depending on the series. 102 items are rated to protection class IP 65.
