Introduction
The Type 75A regulator is designed to reduce
domestic or industrial water pressure, thus protecting
plumbing xtures and meters from high-pressure
surges. The Type 75A is self-contained, requiring no
external control line for operation.
Downstream pressure is directly registered under
the diaphragm. As the downstream pressure
increases, the diaphragm force overcomes the spring

compression, causes the valve disk to rise, and
reduces ow through the regulator.
If the downstream pressure decreases, the spring force
pushes the valve yoke and disk down to open the body
port. This permits increased ow and increases outlet
pressure to the desired level. The spring for each
regulator allows operation over an outlet pressure range
of 20 to 80 psig (1,4 to 5,5 bar). The outlet pressure
setting is easily changed by turning the adjusting screw.
