The PR50 series is a self-contained, non-venting, pilot operated regulator designed for use in various pressure reducing applications. Typical applications include compressor suction control and supply or distribution pressure control.

The PR50 is offered in 2”, 3”, 4” and 6” sizes. The 2” and 3” valves are available in both flanged and female NPT threaded end connections. The flanged PR50 valves are pressure rated up to 250 psi, while the threaded end valves are rated up to 300 psi.

Maintenance is simple via removing the bonnet to reveal the seat, allowing the valve body to remain in place during maintenance.

The pilot exhaust is vented into the downstream side of the valve making the PR50 a zero-bleed, emissions-free device.
