INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THE APOLLO MODEL PR (PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE) IS TO BE INSTALLED IN THE WATER LINE WITH THE ARROW ON THE
VALVE POINTING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FLOW. THIS VALVE IS FACTORY SET AT 50 PSI. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY
CUSTOMER. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF A PRESSURE REDUCNG VALVE IS TO REDUCE THE WATER PRESSURE COMING IN FROM
THE CITY MAIN DOWN TO A MORE FUNCTIONAL LINE PRESSURE IN THE HOME. IT WILL ENABLE THE HOUSEHOLD TO USE WATER
AT A CONSTANT PRESSURE, WHATEVER THE DEMAND, EVEN TO A REMOTE OUTLET IN THE HOME. AT 100 PSIG WATER WILL HAVE
MORE PUSH BEHIND IT THAN AT 50 POUNDS PRESSURE, SO LESS WATER WILL BE USED BY LOWERING THE PRESSURE. REDUCED
PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN A SAVINGS TO THE USER ON THEIR WATER CONSUMPTION. THE MODEL PR COMES STANDARD WITH A
THERMAL EXPANSION BY-PASS FEATURE WHICH DISSIPATES THE EXPANDED DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE BACK TO THE SERVICE
MAIN. THE APOLLO WATER PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE HAS A UNIQUE CARTRIDGE ASSEMBLY FACILITATING EASY REMOVAL
AND/OR REPLACEMENT USING ORDINARY HAND TOOLS.
