SETTING THE SURGE CONTROL 

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

Pressure Reducing Control.

STEP 4

Open downstream isolation valve partially to establish flow 

through the valve, observing downstream pressure change. In-

crease of pressure should stop below the desired surge pressure 

setting.

STEP 5

Gradually open downstream isolation valve until full open.

SETTING THE PRESSURE REDUCING CONTROL

STEP 1

Adjust the Pressure Reducing Control to the desired pressure set 

point by turning the adjustment screw OUT, counterclockwise 

until downstream pressure decreases to the desired setpoint (See 

Figure 3).

STEP 6

Adjust the Surge Control by turning the adjustment screw IN, 

clockwise, to increase, or OUT, counterclockwise, to decrease, 

the downstream pressure surge set-point (See Figure 2).
