	Item # NR3, Model NR3 Water Pressure Reducing Valve with Integral By-pass Check Valve and Strainer

Application
Designed for installation on potable water lines to reduce high inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure. The integral strainer makes this device most suitable for residential and commercial water systems that require frequent cleaning of sediment and debris. The direct acting integral by-pass design prevents buildup of excessive system pressure caused by thermal expansion. The balance piston design enables the regulator to react in a smooth and responsive manner to changes in system flow demand, while at the same time, providing protection from inlet pressure changes.

Standards Compliance

ASSE® Listed 1003
IAPMO® Listed
CSA® Certified

Typical Installation
Local codes shall govern installation requirements. Unless otherwise specified, the assembly shall be mounted in accordance with the latest edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code. The Model NR3 may be installed in any position. If installed in a pit, vault, or indoors, specify the “SC” sealed cage option. The assembly shall be installed with sufficient side clearance for testing and maintenance. Multiple installations are recommended for wide demand variations or where the desired pressure reduction is more than 4 to 1 (i.e.: 200 psi inlet reduced to 50 psi outlet). CAUTION: Anytime a reducing valve is adjusted, a pressure gauge must be used downstream to verify correct pressure setting. Do not bottom adjustment bolt on bell housing.

Specifications
The Water Pressure Reducing Valve shall be ASSE® Listed 1003, and available with single union, double union and less union end connections. The main body shall be cast bronze (ASTM B 584) alloy. The bell shall be composite plastic. The cartridge shall be acetal and incorporate an integral seat. The seat disc elastomer shall be EPDM. The assembly shall be accessible for maintenance without removing the device from the line. The Water Pressure Reducing Valve shall be a WILKINS Model NR3.
