Pressure Reducing Balanced

Pressure Reducing Regulators control pressure downstream of the valve. The balanced feature greatly reduces the effect of varying upstream pressure. These regulators are commonly used as suction control valves on compressors.

These valves are classified as intermittent venting (non-bleed), and meet most producer's emissions standards.
