Setting the Pressure Reducing 
Control

STEP 4

Open downstream isolation valve partially to establish flow through 
the valve, observing downstream pressure change. Increase of 
pressure should stop below the desired pressure reducing setting.

STEP 5

Gradually open downstream isolation valve until full open.

STEP 6

Fine tune the Pressure Reducing Control to the desired pressure 
set point by turning the adjustment screw IN, clockwise to 
increase or OUT, counterclockwise to decrease downstream 
pressure (See Figure 2).

Setting the Surge Control

Note: Surge Control is set at a higher PSI than the 

Pressure Reducing Control.

STEP 1

Increase the downstream pressure to the surge control pressure 
set point by turning the Pressure Reducing Control adjustment 
screw IN, clockwise. 

STEP 2

Adjust the Surge Control by turning the adjustment screw OUT, 
counterclockwise, to decrease, the downstream pressure surge 
set-point until the Surge Control starts to reduce the downstream 
pressure. Turn the adjustment screw out to the required set point 
(See Figure 3).

STEP 3

Decrease the downstream pressure to the reducing pressure set 
point by turning the Pressure Reducing Control adjustment screw 
OUT, counterclockwise. (See Figure 2).
