Genebre has expanded its portfolio of fluid control solutions with the launch of a new diaphragm pressure-reducing valve designed to provide reliable pressure regulation across residential, commercial and industrial water installations. The new solution has been developed to address one of the most common challenges in water distribution networks—pressure fluctuations. Variations in pressure can lead to leaks, excessive noise, equipment wear and system failures, particularly during periods of peak demand. By maintaining stable downstream pressure, the valve helps improve operational efficiency while protecting critical infrastructure.
A key feature of the product is its graduated adjustment handwheel, which incorporates an integrated pressure indicator. This allows installers and maintenance professionals to easily select the desired operating range between 1 and 6 bar without the need for complex calibration procedures. The valve is supplied with a preset pressure setting of 3 bar, a level widely regarded as suitable for balanced water consumption in many applications.
The design also emphasizes ease of maintenance. A removable internal cartridge and integrated 500-micron stainless steel filter enable technicians to access and clean internal components without removing the valve body from the pipeline. This reduces service time, simplifies maintenance procedures and minimizes disruption to system operations.
Manufactured from DZR CW625N brass, the valve offers enhanced resistance to dezincification, making it suitable for use in aggressive or highly mineralized water conditions. Compliance with EN 1567 standards and ACS certification further confirms its suitability for potable water applications.
To ensure consistent performance, the valve incorporates a compensation chamber that helps absorb pressure spikes at the inlet, reducing the risk of cavitation and maintaining a stable outlet pressure. This feature contributes to improved system reliability and longer service life for connected equipment.
The product supports working pressures up to PN25 bar and operating temperatures of up to 80 degrees Celsius. It is also compatible with water and glycol mixtures containing up to 50 percent glycol, expanding its suitability for a variety of heating and cooling applications.
Available in sizes ranging from ½ inch to 2 inches with male threaded connections, the valve can be deployed in applications ranging from residential buildings to commercial facilities and industrial process systems. With the introduction of this latest solution, Genebre continues to strengthen its position in the water management sector by delivering products that combine durability, operational efficiency and ease of maintenance for modern fluid handling environments.
