Dixon AVAPR150F adjustable pressure restricting angle valve with male outlet, 1-1/2 in size, brass construction. Designed for water service applications requiring precise pressure control, the adjustable feature allows easy flow regulation for residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Applications

• Pressure restricting valves are used when flowing water pressure needs to be controlled.
• NFPA requires restricting valves where the inlet pressure exceeds 100 PSI. Unlike the pressure regulating type of valve, the restricting valve has no effect on the static pressure of a system.

Available Options

Consult Dixon for pricing and availability of other thread options.

How It Works

Restricting valves are angle valves with preset orifices which restrict the volume of water and thereby lower the pressure of the flowing water.

Note

The restricting device can be manually bypassed if required by opening the valve fully. Simply pull the pin to allow the yoke to fall back from the valve stem to allow the valve to be opened fully. When the valve needs to be restricted again, slide the yoke back into place to be NFPA compliant.

Specifications

• UL listed
• New York City Board of Standards and Appeals, approval # MEA 54-07-E

Use

• Restricts only under flow conditions
• Restricts inlet pressure from 70 PSI up to a maximum of 175 PSI and down to outlet pressures of 65, 80 or 100 PSI.
• Outlet pressures may be set below 65 PSI when authorized by the local authority having jurisdiction. Setting charts are packed with the valve.
