New Stainless Steel Pressure Reducing Valve Protects Against Excessive Supply Pressures, with Many Benefits

Honeywell has launched a stainless steel version of its D06 compact pressure reducing valve, which in its original brass version has sold over 15 million units. The new D06FI can be used to maintain a constant pressure, even where there are wide inlet pressure fluctuations. It extends the popular D06 range to applications in pharmaceuticals, processing, chemical, buildings, hospitals and any industry where a stainless steel body and fittings are required.

By maintaining a constant ideal pressure, irrespective of supply pressure and height, it protects water installations against high supply pressures so reducing leaks and corrosion. By maintaining lower pressures it reduces water consumption, reduces splashing at hand basins and minimises system flow noise. It is also ideal to regulate water pressures to individual floors of multi-level buildings.

Industries and applications where a stainless steel valve may be required include processing and chemicals, the food and beverage industry, dosing and dilution systems, electronic component manufacturing, hospitals, automobile manufacture and fire extinguishing systems.

The D06FI can be used with any compatible chemical, solvent, gas or liquid, cold and warm potable water, compressed air and nitrogen within the scope of valid standards (e.g. DIN EN 12502). It is DVGW approved and its materials comply with KTW requirements and DIN 4109.

The D06 has an inbuilt filter and a stainless steel filter bowl for easy in-line maintenance. The maximum temperature in service is 70 degrees.
