BD3 Pressure Reducing Dome-Loaded Regulator
Dome-Loaded Pressure Reducing Regulator
The BD3 is our simplest dome-loaded regulator, or 1:1 “mimic” valve. It uses a pilot and can be internally or externally sensed. The BD3 has a diaphragm for better response and/or more precise pressure or vacuum control than piston-type regulator.
- Large CVs
- Easy inline maintenance
- Can be piloted with Proportion-Air electro-pneumatic regulators, manual regulators or other devices
BD dome-loaded pressure regulators provide accurate pressure control of most industrial gases and liquids. All BD series valves are non-relieving. This series thrives in the oil & gas and petrochemical industries. These heavy-duty quality casted valves offer 1/2″ to 2” threaded ports and flange options from 1/2” to 8”.
