VRP175-170 – Pressure Regulating Valve – Heavy-Duty NPT Pressure Control
The Annovi Reverberi VRP175-170 Pressure Regulating Valve is a heavy-duty precision
control device engineered to deliver accurate, reliable pressure management for high-demand
industrial and commercial pump systems. Designed for professional use, it maintains constant
operating pressure, protects critical components, and enhances overall system efficiency in
continuous-duty environments.
Built for compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic and fluid transfer systems, the VRP175-170
uses NPT-threaded connections for secure, leak-free installation in both fixed and
mobile setups. Its precision-ground internal components automatically compensate for fluctuations
in downstream demand, preventing pressure spikes that can damage hoses, seals, and nozzles.
Key Functions & Benefits
- Constant pressure control: Automatically maintains a steady target pressure as flow
demand changes. - Pump and system protection: Prevents damaging surges that can shorten pump life
or compromise safety. - Improved efficiency: Smooth, stable regulation reduces hydraulic losses and energy
waste. - Enhanced safety: Minimizes sudden pressure spikes that can cause hose whip
or fitting failure. - Continuous-duty performance: Engineered for systems that run for long periods under
demanding conditions.
Construction & Materials
- Corrosion-resistant body: Precision-machined brass or stainless steel housing
maintains dimensional stability under pressure. - High-strength internals: Precision-ground spring and piston assembly for rapid,
proportional pressure response. - Reinforced seals: Heavy-duty elastomer seals provide long-lasting, leak-free
performance. - Chemical- and heat-tolerant: Designed to withstand hot water, detergents, and
cleaning chemicals without degradation. - Durable housing: Resists distortion and wear through repeated pressure cycles
in harsh environments.
Pressure Regulation & Bypass Operation
- Automatic compensation: Responds instantly to changes in downstream restriction
or demand to hold set pressure. - Integrated bypass circuit: Redirects excess water back to the pump inlet when
discharge flow stops, preventing overpressure. - Stable system behavior: Reduces pulsation and vibration for quieter, smoother
operation. - Reduced idle strain: Lowers pump load and heat buildup during intermittent
or stop/start operation. - Extended equipment life: Minimizes fatigue on pumps, hoses, and accessories by
keeping pressures within design limits.
Adjustment & Control
- Ergonomic adjustment knob: Allows easy, precise pressure tuning in the field
without special tools. - Set-and-hold performance: Once adjusted, the valve automatically maintains the
selected pressure with minimal oversight. - Smooth-flow geometry: Internal passages are designed to minimize turbulence and
hydraulic losses. - Consistent nozzle pressure: Helps maintain uniform spray patterns and cleaning
performance in pressure washer applications.
Applications
- Pressure washing systems: Maintains consistent nozzle pressure in heavy-duty wash
bays and mobile rigs. - Agricultural sprayers: Provides accurate delivery pressure for boom sprayers and
chemical application systems. - Industrial process systems: Stabilizes pressure in manufacturing, fluid transfer,
and CIP (clean-in-place) circuits. - Chemical distribution: Controls pressure in networks handling detergents,
treatment fluids, and cleaning solutions. - Mobile and fixed equipment: Suitable for use on service trucks, plant skids,
and automated production lines.
Installation & Integration
- NPT-threaded connections: Standard threads ensure easy integration into U.S.
and North American plumbing configurations. - Flexible orientation: Compact design can be mounted in horizontal or vertical
positions to fit tight layouts. - Simple retrofits: Ideal as an upgrade or replacement regulator in existing
systems. - Closed-loop design: Bypass return to pump inlet supports efficient, energy-saving
circulation.
Reliability, Testing & Service
- Factory calibrated: Each VRP175-170 is tested by AR North America to verify
pressure accuracy and smooth bypass operation. - Low maintenance: Requires only periodic inspection and cleaning of spring
and piston areas. - Resistant to scale and rust: Materials and finishes are selected to combat
scaling and corrosion in treated water systems. - Long service intervals: Robust internals and seals deliver thousands of hours of
reliable operation.
