11. Two-stage Pressure Reduction
Install a pressure reducing valve at the inlet side of MC-COS whenever the
pressure cannot be reduced to the desired level with a single multi-control valve
due to operating range limitations, such as when the reduction ratio is greater
than 10:1.
12. Accessories
Always install a shut-off valve, pressure gauge and bypass lines at both inlet and
outlet. Ball valves, which will not retain condensate, are recommended for inlet
and outlet shut-off valves. The bypass pipe should be at least ½ of the size of the
inlet (primary side) pipe. If installing a strainer before the multi-control valve,
horizontal installation with the basket in the same horizontal plane to the piping is
recommended in order to prevent condensate pooling.
