supply pressure to a set lower pressure in domestic water systems. It
applies to devices in the size range 1/2-2 inches inclusive that are of
the direct acting diaphragm type with a means for adjusting the pressure
setting, and are suitable for use over a hydrostatic inlet pressure
range up to 1700 kPa and a water temperature range up to 82°C.
1.2
Scope
This Standard covers material specifications, construction requirements,
and tests for structural integrity, capacity and reduced pressure
deviations, and instructions and marking.
