5.5 GPM Flow Control Valve for continuous regulation of water flow
- Used for open-loop geothermal systems
- Safe for potable water use
- Inlet/Outlet - 3/4" FNPT
- Flow Rate - 5.5 GPM
- Threshold Pressure - 15-25 PSI (Point at which orifice changes to maintain flow rate)
- Maximum system pressure - 200 psi
- Maximum water temperature - 180 degrees F
- Manufactured by Conrader Valves
The Conrader FR-Series Flow Regulators are designed to deliver a constant volume of water flow output over a wide pressure drop range. The controlling mechanism consists of a flexible orifice engineered to vary its effective area inversely to the applied pressure. At pressures above the threshold pressure (15-25 PSI) the orifice distorts reducing the opening size to maintain the output flow rate to within ±15% up to pressure drops of 125 psi.
