Protecting household appliances and pipework against excessive pressure, the Honeywell Home D04FM ...Protecting household appliances and pipework against excessive pressure, the Honeywell Home D04FM pressure reducing valve (PRV) has a compact design that promises to maintain a constant water pressure even where supply pressure is much higher. Reducing noise and saving on waste, this PRV is supplied with 1/2" female x female compression connections. It is designed to protect household appliances against excessive supply pressure and must be installed in horizontal pipework. The maximum inlet working pressure is 16 bar, and the outlet adjustment range is between a minimum of 1.5 bar and a maximum of 6 bar. The maximum operating temperature for water is 40°C. This model is available with a pressure gauge. It features a spring-loaded balanced seat for constant outlet pressure even where inlet pressure fluctuates.
Key Features:
- 16 bar inlet pressure
- 1.5 - 6 bar outlet pressure
- Maximum operating temperature 40°C
- Available with pressure gauge
- Manufacturer: Honeywell
This guide is for homeowners and plumbers looking to protect their appliances and plumbing systems with the Honeywell Home D04FM pressure reducing valve (PRV). The D04FM-1/2ZGC is designed to maintain consistent water pressure, even when the incoming pressure fluctuates, which helps reduce noise and water waste. However, proper installation in horizontal pipework is critical for optimal performance.
