Conbraco 36-205-02 Valve
The Conbraco 36-205-02 Valve is a professional-grade 1" Water Pressure Reducing Valve designed for high-performance regulation in commercial and residential hydronic systems. This Apollo 36 Series regulator features a heavy-duty bronze body and a balanced piston design, ensuring stable outlet pressure even amidst fluctuating supply demands. With a 300 PSI max inlet pressure and a 180F maximum temperature rating, it provides reliable protection for downstream equipment and piping. The specialized 10-35 PSI adjustable pressure range makes it ideal for low-pressure applications requiring precise control, such as boiler feed lines or specialized irrigation zones. Maintenance is streamlined via the integral stainless steel strainer and a replaceable cartridge assembly that allows for efficient in-line servicing. Built to ASSE 1003 and CSA B356 standards, this valve effectively mitigates water hammer and protects against thermal expansion via its internal bypass, promoting long-term system integrity in demanding environments.
Key Benefits- Stable Pressure Control: Utilizing a balanced piston design, the valve maintains a consistent 10-35 PSI output regardless of inlet pressure spikes.
- Debris Protection: An integral stainless steel strainer prevents sediment from fouling the seat, extending the service life of internal components.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: The ASTM B-584 bronze housing provides superior corrosion resistance in high-temperature water applications up to 180F.
- Simplified Maintenance: Designed for veterans in the field, the top-access bell housing allows for quick seat and diaphragm replacement without removing the valve from the line.
- How do I adjust the outlet pressure on this valve? Loosen the lock nut on the spring cage and turn the adjustment bolt clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease it within the 10-35 PSI range.
- Can this model be used for potable water systems? This specific model (36-205-02) is the standard bronze version; for potable water installations in the USA, ensure compliance with local lead-free requirements or utilize the 36LF lead-free series.
- What causes the valve to hum or vibrate? Typically, vibration occurs due to high velocity or an undersized valve; ensure the 1" NPT pipe size matches your system's flow requirements for optimal performance.
