Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 500X pressure reducing valve need electricity?
No. It is fully self-operated: a hydraulic pilot system senses downstream pressure and modulates the main valve, so it works anywhere pipe pressure exists — no external power or control system required.
What downstream pressure range can the 500X maintain?
The set downstream pressure is adjustable from 0.1 MPa to 1.6 MPa via the pilot assembly, holding a steady value despite flow changes or inlet pressure variation across PN10, PN16 and PN25 inlet ratings.
What sizes are available for the 500X?
DN20 to DN600 (3/4 inch to 24 inch) in ductile iron QT450-10 with a nylon-reinforced EPDM diaphragm, stainless steel 304 internal stem and solid forged brass pilot — designed to ANSI, JIS or GB as required.
How does the 500X prevent water hammer?
The main valve closes slowly and smoothly through the pilot-controlled diaphragm, avoiding the sudden pressure surges that fast-closing valves can create in long water mains.
