Inlet Pressure Regulator

Type: A4W, A4WB, A4WS, A4WBS, A4WK, A4WBK,
         A4WE
Size: 20 - 50 mm (

3

4

” to 2”)

Design Pressure Rating: 32 bar (464 psig)

Purpose:

The A4W inlet pressure regulators 
modulate the fl ow of refrigerant 
gas or liquid to maintain a 
constant upstream pressure.  This 
improved design has a higher 
working pressure, greater working 
temperature range than competitive 
products, and minimizes the effects 
of system impurities for a more 
durable operation.  The A4Ws most 
benefi cial features are its stainless 
steel and aluminum construction, 
which allows it to withstand corrosive 
environments and its overall light 
weight minimizes installation costs.

Product Features:

Suitable for Ammonia, CO

• 

2

, R-22, 

R-404a, and other common 
refrigerants
Designed with corrosion resistant 

• 

material – 304 stainless steel and 
aluminum
No body wearing surfaces

• 

Stainless steel components are 

• 

resistant to wiredrawing
Improved performance at low loads 

• 

with a turn down ratio of 10% of 
capacity

Design drastically reduces foreign
