PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE – BV 421

The BV421 Pressure Reducing Valve, from the Belven - Stallion range, is designed to set, adjust and maintain
the downstream pipeline pressure, regardless of the variation in the upstream pressure. In this model, the
Belven - Stallion (Main Valve) BV400 coupled with the Pressure Reducing Pilot BV401, is designed to
automatically reduce the fluctuating upstream pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure. The
Control is by the normally open Pressure Reducing Pilot BV401. When the BV401 is open, it allows liquid to
flow out of the Stallion cover chamber. When it is closed, it allows the liquid to fill the Stallion cover chamber.
Normally a decrease in downstream pressure causes the Valve to open, consequently raising the pressure
and vice versa. The BV421 comes with WRAS approved coating, suitable for all potable Water applications.
