Built to last: Honeywell introduces new corrosion-resistant pressure reducing valve

Minimises water consumption and repair costs by protecting installations against damage from excessive pressure in the water supply.

BRACKNELL, UK, 22 DECEMBER 2000 – Honeywell’s corrosion-resistant D15P pressure reducing valve now features an epoxy powder coating that protects valve components, so ensuring long-term, reliable operation in underground chambers. The epoxy powder coating is applied inside and outside the valve body to provide a high degree of protection against corrosion. The powder coating is physiologically safe and non-toxic.Other new features include an increased outlet pressure range of 1.5 to 8.0 bar and a position indicator on the spring bonnet to provide easier setting.

Built to a reliable and well-proven design, the Honeywell D15P is designed for use in potable water supply systems and is used in municipal, industrial and commercial water networks. It is WRc approved for use with potable water and all materials in contact with the water are KTW approved. It also carries full WRAS approval.

Honeywell D15P pressure reducing valves minimise water consumption and repair costs by protecting water installations against damage from excessive pressure in the water supply. By reducing the operating pressure and maintaining it at a constant level, the Honeywell D15P also minimises flow noise in the installation. They can be used in multi-dwelling buildings as well as industrial and commercial premises. The set output pressure is held constant across a wide inlet pressure fluctuation.

Honeywell supplies the D15P in sizes from 50mm to 200mm (DN 50 to DN 200) and with a maximum inlet pressure rating of 16.0 bar.
