Setting the Sustaining Control

STEP 7

Slowly open downstream isolation valve to establish flow through 

the system.

STEP 8

Setting the Sustaining Control requires lowering the upstream 

pressure to the desired minimum sustained pressure.

STEP 9

Leave the downstream isolation valve full open and close the up-

stream isolation valve until the inlet pressure drops to the desired 

setting.

Fine-tune the Reducing Control adjustment to the pressure reduc-

ing setpoint, as detailed in Step 7.

STEP 10

Adjust the Sustaining Control screw IN, clockwise, until the inlet 

pressure begins to increase, or OUT, counterclockwise, to de-

crease, stopping at the desired pressure (See Figure 2).
