Product Description

ET124 and ET134 Series are steam pressure 

reducing valves and temperature regulators in a single 

pilot-operated valve. These regulators are combination 

of Type T124 or T134 pressure and temperature pilot 

and a Type E or E2 main valve. Steam pressure on 

the heater is modulated in proportion to temperature 

and load variations. Pressure control provides 

fast, accurate adjustment of heat transfer rate to 

demand requirements.
