Type 41-23 Universal Pressure Reducing Valve

Self-operated Pressure Regulators

Application
Pressure regulators for set points from 0.05 to 28 bar · Valve nominal sizes DN 15 to 100 · Nominal pressure PN 16 to 40
Suitable for liquids, gases and vapors up to 350 °C
The valve closes when the downstream pressure rises.

Special features
•• Low-maintenance proportional regulators requiring no
auxiliary energy
•• Frictionless plug stem seal with stainless steel bellows
•• Control line kit available for tapping the pressure directly
at the valve body
•• Wide set point range and convenient set point adjustment
using a nut
•• Exchangeable actuator and set point springs
•• Spring-loaded, single-seated valve with upstream and
downstream pressure balancing 1) by a stainless steel
bellows
•• Soft-seated plug for high shut-off requirements
•• Low-noise standard plug
•• All wetted parts free of non-ferrous metal

Versions
Pressure reducing valve to regulate the downstream pressure
p2 to the adjusted set point. The valve closes when the down-
stream pressure rises.
