Conbraco 36-104-01 Valve

The Conbraco 36-104-01 is a professional-grade water pressure reducing valve engineered for high-performance residential and commercial plumbing systems. Featuring a 3/4" union threaded inlet and a 3/4" female NPT outlet, this direct-acting PRV is designed to protect downstream components from excessive supply pressure. With a 300 PSI maximum inlet pressure rating and an adjustable 25-75 PSI outlet range, it provides precise control over static pressure and flow dynamics. The bronze body construction ensures durability in demanding environments, while the integral stainless steel strainer prevents debris from fouling the seat. Rated for temperatures up to 180F, this pressure regulator is ideal for potable water systems where maintaining thermal expansion control and flow capacity is critical. This valve is a standard replacement for stabilizing water hammer and optimizing fixture performance in multi-unit or single-family applications.

Key Benefits

• Corrosion Resistance: Heavy-duty bronze body construction withstands aggressive water conditions and ensures long-term system reliability.
• Field Adjustability: The 36-104-01 allows for easy pressure calibration via the adjustment screw to meet specific PSI requirements.
• Serviceability: Designed with a union connection to facilitate rapid installation and teardown during routine HVACR maintenance.
• Built-in Protection: Includes a stainless steel strainer to protect the internal valve diaphragm from sediment and scale buildup.
