TOWER Pressure Reducing Valve
PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE
- MODEL PRV— 3/4” BSP THREADED
- MODEL PRVG— 22MM COMPRESSION
Product instructions
Pressure-reducing valves are suitable for water supplies of up to 800 C, and
inlet pressures of up to 16 bar. The outlet pressure can be adjusted between 1
bar and 6 bar. Normally these valves are fitted to the incoming water supply
pipe.
Tower PRV & PRVG provide static and dynamic water pressure reduction.
Installation orientation and additional provision:
The valve must be installed such that the embossed flow direction arrow on the
valve body matches the direction of flow in the pipe. For ease of servicing it
is recommended to fit isolation valves upstream and downstream of the valve.
Setting instruction:
This pressure-reducing valve has been factory preset at 3 bar. Please refer to
the diagrams below.
- Close all outlets downstream of the valve.
- Turn screw (A) anti-clockwise to reduce the downstream pressure.
- Turn screw (A) clockwise to increase the downstream pressure.

Care advice: PRVs are supplied fitted with an inbuilt stainless steel strainer to protect the cartridge from system debris. It is recommended that this filter is periodically cleaned; this can be achieved with the valve in situ.
Procedure: Close both inlet and outlet isolating valves. If isolating valves are not installed drain the system. Unscrew the black plastic cap carefully and using pliers
pull the complete filter out. Clean with warm water, and check and refit the cartridge by pushing it back into the body. Re-install the plastic cap, spring, and adjustment screw. Turn the water back on and check the pressure setting. -
Use the supplied pressure gauge at (B) to show the outlet pressure during adjustment. If required you can later remove the gauge and refit the supplied plug—as long as isolation valves have been fitted.
