Pressure Regulators

Available in Cast Iron and Cast Steel materials, the Spence Type ED pressure regulator is designed to reduce a steady or varying initial pressure to a constant, adjustable delivery pressure.
Normal accuracy of regulation is +- 1 psi. Ranging in size from 3/8" to 12", the type ED is designed for use in steam plants and district heating systems.
The Cast Iron valves are constructed for steam service up to 450°F; the Cast Steel valves are constructed for superheated steam service up to a temperature of 750°F.
This regulator is capable of single stage, two stage, and parallel reduction.

The adjustable range of delivery pressure is determined by the choice of the pilot adjusting spring as follows:

10 to 100 psi 10 to 100 psi
