Water Pressure Reducer
Water is not only an indispensable part of life, but also plays a crucial role in industrial processes. However, high and fluctuating water pressure in plumbing systems can damage the plumbing, connected appliances, and equipment. Water pressure reducers are essential to prevent this problem and ensure safe and efficient water use. As ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc., we offer reliable and high-performance water pressure reducing solutions for domestic and industrial water systems.
What is a Water Pressure Reducer?
A water pressure reducer is a control valve that reduces the inlet water pressure to a lower, constant value at the outlet and maintains it. This prevents damage to the system and connected devices due to excessive pressure.
Working Principle of Water Pressure Reducers:
Water pressure reducers essentially work by controlling the pressure of water through a diaphragm or piston mechanism inside them.
- High Pressure Inlet: High pressure water enters from the inlet of the valve.
- Pressure Adjustment: The adjustment mechanism (usually a spring and adjustment screw) determines the desired output pressure.
- Diaphragm/Piston Movement: The difference between inlet and outlet pressures causes the diaphragm or piston to move.
- Flow Control: The movement of the diaphragm or piston controls the opening through which water passes, ensuring that the outlet pressure remains constant.
- Constant Pressure Outlet: Water flows from the valve outlet at a set constant pressure.
Advantages of Water Pressure Reducers with ORFA:
The water pressure reducers we offer as ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc. offer a number of important advantages for water installations and systems:
- Plumbing Protection: Prevents pipe bursts, sealing problems and other plumbing damage that may be caused by high pressure.
- Device Protection: Extends the life of water-powered devices such as combi boilers, water heaters, and washing machines.
- Water Saving: It saves water by reducing water splashes and uncontrolled flows caused by high pressure.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduces energy costs by providing more efficient water use.
- System Safety: Increases system safety by preventing problems caused by sudden pressure changes.

Application Areas of Water Pressure Reducers:
Water pressure reducers sold by ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc. are widely used in various domestic and industrial water systems:
- Domestic Water Systems:
- At building entrances
- Next to the apartment water meters
- At combi boiler and water heater inlets
- Industrial Water Systems:
- In production facilities
- In cooling systems
- In fire extinguishing systems
- In irrigation systems
- In hydrophore and pump systems
Water Pressure Reducer Installation and Maintenance:
- Installing a strainer in front of the valve keeps the system clean and extends the life of the valve.
- If more than one pressure reducing valve is to be used in the system, it is recommended that the strainer be installed at the main entrance of the building.
- The pressure behind the pressure reducing valve can be easily adjusted with the help of allen heads.
- Draining water from unused valves during the winter months prevents the risk of freezing.
