For assistance choosing the right pressure reducing regulator for your application, use our sizing software program or contact your local representative.

However, the most important things you’ll need to know in selecting a regulator for a specific application are what the flowing media is and what the desired flow rate is, and what the inlet and outlet pressures will be.

PressureReducing Valve

Jordan Valve has a large line of pressure reducing regulators to meet many different specifications and applications, from self-operated to pilot-operated. The sliding gate pressure reducing regulators achieve levels of performance, reliability and accuracy that are not found in other valve designs. Request a quote today.

Fuel Gas regs for the most part are based on common sense and experience. When the regs say a tank shall be so far from stuff or a fuel line must be or a regulator shall it is because someone has had a bad experience in the past nobody wants to repeat.

The compressed spring and diaphragm are the two opposing forces and the plug acts as the balance between the two. The set screw is used to show the regulator how much pressure we want by turning it to compress the spring. A compressed spring generates a force causing it to push down. This opens the plug and results in more flow (of water, air, or other media).

Our sliding gate pressure reducing regulators are ideal for steam, liquid and gas media applications. However, we also see use cases for the following applications:

If there is a change in the controlled pressure, the diaphragm will be forced to move. For example, the pilot plug will allow upstream gas to flow under the diaphragm where the pressure is controlled by the position of the plunger. If any pressure exceeds your set point, the pressure below the diaphragm will be pushed up, closing off the pilot plug.

Most of the government rules and regulations are nothing more than the result of large corporate donations to polititions. When you see some lawyer elected to some position take up his pen and draft legislation that covers something that he has no knowledge of, you can pretty wee guess that he has stuffed his pocket with cash. Much like the Healthcare bill that all of the Democrats passed without even reading it.

Yep, as the other gas passers have said it is all about safety. If we are going to err it is going to be on the side of keeping you safe.

Direct Operated Tank Padding Regulator or Gas Pressure Reducing Regulator for Low Pressures 3/4" - 1" (DN20 - DN25); Balanced Plug - Good for High Inlet Pressures

If you’re not sure what size of pressure reducing valve you need, don’t hesitate to reach out to our experts for help. We also have sizing software available to help with sizing a regulator.

Pressure reducing regulators are used to maintain a set downstream pressure point by reducing the supply, also known as inlet pressure, of a fluid or gas to lower the outlet pressure.

Pressure reducing regulators monitor the downstream pressure and do not need any external power or air source to operate. Instead, they work by force balance. There are 4 main parts to a pressure regulator:

I own my tanks, own the regulators, and own the lines. Bought the regulators less than 10 years ago and last fall, the propane guy told me to expect to need to change the regulators in the next couple years.I suspect but don't know for sure that the old design had some serious flaws and they want to get them changed before something fails on them. When it comes down to it, even owning everything won't exempt me from changing the regulators because if I don't, they won't fill the tanks. I guess I could pay to bury a half mile of nat gas line and switch to that. Wouldn't that show 'em ;-)

edit: The recommended life of a regulator seems to keep changing.  It was a little longer when I started in the business 20 years ago.  I have heard mfg recommendations of 15 - 18years, less under some conditions.  I would say 10 years is an insurance company number, realizing it will be stretched a little most of the time. I've replaced 50 year old ones working perfectly and 3 year old ones that were bad. It's all a numbers game to cover liability.From a gas guy viewpoint I hate switching out regulators.  Once I switch regulators I have to do a system inspection (we're half done with the work of a GAS Check so why not finish it?) and in most older houses there will be some minor code violation we have to fix to put the customer back in service.

Steam RegulatorValve

We have a variety of pressure reducing regulators available, including self-operated, high flow, differential, vacuum, air-loaded and pilot-operated. Many of our pressure reducing valves have the sliding gate technology which offers precise control in a variety of applications.

A tempering valve is one of the best ways to ensure people are not harmed or scalded by hot water when it comes out of a faucet.

After you have correctly sized your regulator, you’ll then need to know the line size, material, type of connection, whether it’s a shutoff or not, and if it’s either direct or pilot-operated.

How you choose a pressure reducing regulator depends on why you need it. There are five things you need to have to choose the right pressure reducing regulator with the right flow coefficient (Cv):
