Conbraco 36-204-01 Valve

The Conbraco 36-204-01 is a high-performance water pressure reducing valve designed for demanding residential and commercial applications. Built with a rugged bronze body, this 3/4" Female NPT valve manages high-pressure supply fluctuations by reducing inlet pressure up to 300 PSI down to a stable, adjustable range of 25-75 PSI. As a direct-acting regulator, it features a balanced piston design that ensures responsive pressure control even during rapid changes in flow demand. The unit includes an integral stainless steel strainer to protect internal components from sediment and debris, alongside a built-in thermal expansion bypass to prevent over-pressurization in closed-loop systems. Rated for temperatures up to 180°F, this Apollo PR Series valve is a reliable choice for protecting downstream plumbing fixtures and reducing water consumption.

• Optimized Pressure Control: Efficiently reduces high inlet pressure to safeguard pipes and appliances from water hammer.
• Debris Protection: Features a high-capacity stainless steel strainer that is easily accessible for maintenance.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty ASTM grade bronze body ensures long-term reliability in varying water conditions.
• Thermal Safety: Equipped with an internal thermal expansion by-pass to handle pressure spikes in water heating systems.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both hot and cold water services with a max temperature rating of 180°F.

How do I adjust the outlet pressure on the Conbraco 36-204-01?
Pressure can be adjusted by turning the screw on the spring cage. The valve is factory-preset to 50 PSI but can be set between 25 and 75 PSI to meet specific system requirements.

Is this valve suitable for potable water systems?
Yes, the 36 Series is designed for water distribution systems. However, always verify local lead-free requirements, as certain jurisdictions may require the "LF" lead-free version for specific potable installations.

Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
For peak performance and ease of maintenance for the integral strainer, it is recommended to install the valve in a horizontal position with the spring bonnet upright.
