Pressure Regulation

The Type 582 Pressure Reducing Valve shall control downstream pressure. The set pressure is controlled via an adjustment screw. The spindle is of non-rising design. The bonnet connection is of threaded design. The seal material is indicated by color coded external tab. Following assembly, every valve is tested and certified bubble tight exceeding Class VI standards. The Compact design enables installation even where space is limited. Threaded bonnet eliminates the need for body assembly bolts. Significantly shorter lay length with union ends. No need to re-torque due to threaded bonnet. Easily adjusted set pressure with non-rising spindle. Constant and low vibrating control behavior. Tightness resistant to temperature cycling. Adjustment of set pressure possible during operation. Pressure gauge options for aggressive media. Connection options in true union, spigot or flanged. Low pressure spring set available (4-44 psi) Optional Pressure Gauges. Pressure gauge mounting on either side of the 582 valve to accommodate required installation direction. Standard gauges are 304 stainless steel or brass with either EPDM or FPM elastomeric seals. Valve bodies of all varieties can accommodate two pressure gauges.

The Penguin plastic gauge guard is a unique, compact, molded design consisting of two threaded fluid chambers. There is no possibility of leakage due to uneven screwed components. Each piece contains a matching groove which confines the true o-ring incorporated on the OD of the impermeable diaphragm. A bleed plug and o-ring are included in the design for proper filling or the incompressible liquid in the gauge side chamber. This prevents air entrapment, thus providing an accurate reading with no needle vibrations.

Features
• Choice of materials CPVC, PVDF or Polypropylene   • Impermeable and resilient Viton diaphragm   • 1/4" FPT instrument (gauge) connection   • 1/2" FPT bottom system connection   • No metallic fasteners to corrode

Advantages of Plast-O-Matic Gauge Guards
• Inexpensive initial investment   • Reduces instrument failures   • Reduces system down time   • Eliminates special alloy instruments   • Maximum chemical / temperature compatibility

* “T” in model number refers to PTFE diaphragm, FKM available, change “T” to “V”, prices are the same.

Plast-O-Matic Chemical Gauge Guards should be utilized to isolate and protect pressure or vacuum instruments used on ultra-pure or highly corrosive fluid lines. Utilization of Plast-O-Matic gauge guards offers the added advantage of protection against clogging of instruments caused by suspended solids or highly viscous fluids. Gauge Guards are available with or without gauges.
