1 D e s c r i p t i o nBERMAD's Model 720UL Pressure-Reducing Valve is an automatic pressure control valve that reduces higher inlet pressure to lower constant outlet pressure, regardless of fluctuating flow-rates and/or varying inlet pressure. It is a pilot-operated, diaphragm-actuated, low pressure-loss valve. Valve differential pressure powers the diaphragm actuator open or closed. The double-chambered actuator design enables quick and smooth valve action. According to the downstream pressure, the pilot valve regulates main valve opening.
1 . 1 M o d e l s a n d S i z e s Models and Sizes covered by this document include the BERMAD Model 720 UL Pressure-Reducing Valve, sizes 2", 2.5", 3", 4", 6" and 8". It is available in either the Globe “Y” or Angle pattern.
1 . 2 O p e r a t i n g P r e s s u r e R a t i n gSizes 2", 2.5", 3", 4" and 6" have a maximum rated inlet pressure of 300 psi (21 bar).
Size 8" has a maximum rated inlet pressure of 175 psi (12 bar).
Outlet pressure setting for all sizes is 30-165 psi.
When setting the outlet pressure, the inlet pressure should be at least 15 psi (1 bar) higher than the set outlet pressure.
In cases where the inlet pressure falls below or is equal to the intended outlet pressure, the outlet pressure and flow will be as described in Tables 2 through 7.
In the case of zero (static) flow through the valve, the maximum increase in the downstream (outlet) pressure above the set pressure of the valve will not exceed 8 psi (0.5 bar).

2 I n s t a l l a t i o n1. Allow enough room around the valve assembly for any adjustments and future
maintenance/disassembly work.2. Before the valve is installed, flush the pipeline to remove any dirt, scale, debris, etc.
Not flushing the line may result in the valve being inoperable.3. Listed indicating valves should be installed upstream and downstream of the
BERMAD Model 720UL valve to allow future maintenance. See Figure 1 on page 2.4. Install the valve in the pipeline with the valve flow arrow on the body casting in the
proper direction. Use the lifting eye provided on the main valve cover for lifting and lowering the valve.
5. Install the valve in the horizontal or vertical position. Ensure that the valve is positioned so that the actuator can be easily removed for future maintenance.
6. After installation, carefully inspect/correct any damaged accessories, piping, tubing, or fittings.
7. Install a UL listed sprinkler system pressure relief valve sized in accordance with NFPA 13.
8. Install a UL listed pressure gauge on both the upstream and downstream of the Model 720UL. See Figure 1 on page 2 for indicated installation.
9. Install the Model 720UL valve in accordance with the Standard for Installation of Fire Sprinkler Systems, NFPA 13, or the Standard for Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, NFPA 14, as appropriate. The Model 720UL valve is to be tested after installation in accordance with NFPA 13.
10. The Model 720UL valve is to be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the Standard for the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, NFPA 25.

3 P r i n c i p l e s o f O p e r a t i o nThe Pressure-Regulating Pilot Valve senses downstream pressure and modulates the upper control-chamber causing the main valve to throttle, thus maintaining constant downstream pressure. When the downstream pressure falls below the pilot setting, the pilot opens, pressure in the upper control-chamber decreases, and the main valve modulates open to increase downstream pressure and maintain pilot setting. Should the downstream pressure rise above the pilot setting, the pilot closes, pressure in the upper control-chamber increases and the main valve throttles close to decrease downstream pressure to the pilot setting.
The pressure-reducing pilot is equipped with an adjusting screw to preset the desired downstream pressure and an internal adjustable needle valve to control the closing speed.

4 S t a r t i n g - u pWhen performing this procedure refer to Figure 1 on page 2.
1. Open a hydrant, relief valve, drain valve, or other flow-consumer downstream of the Model 720UL Pressure-Reducing Valve, creating a system demand.
2. Fully open upstream indicating valve (2).3. Gradually open downstream indicating valve (4) to fully open, allowing flow through
the Model 720UL Pressure-Reducing (3) Valve.4. Wait for downstream pressure stability.5. Slowly close the flow-consumer that was opened in step #1 above to fully closed.
There is no flow, the pressure on the downstream side of the system that is reflected through the pressure gauge (5) should be according to the factory pre-set adjusted pressure plus up to an additional 10%.
4 . 1 R e a d j u s t i n gThe Pilot Valve is factory pre-set according to the stated demands of the customer. The pre-set is clearly indicated on the Pilot Valve tag.
If readjustment to either the pressure or valve response is required, follow the following steps.
1. Ensure that there is minimum flow through the main valve. (For Pilot setting flow rate see Table 1, row “Minimum Flow Rate for Pilot Setting.”)
2. Free the tension between the adjusting screw on the pressure reducing pilot valve (Figure 2, item 2) and the fastening nut by turning the fastening nut counterclockwise.
3. By alternately turning the adjusting screw on the pilot valve a half turn and then reading the downstream pressure, gradually adjust the pressure:
• Counterclockwise to decrease (-) the downstream pressure or
• Clockwise to increase (+) the downstream pressure.4. Repeat the Starting-up procedure, Section 4 “Starting-up” steps 1-5.
Caution: Small changes in the adjustment of the needle valve have great impact on the Model 720UL performance. The needle valve is factory set at one-half turn open to one and one-half turn open. The maximum number of turns is 3 (fully closed to fully open). More than 3 turns toward open might cause the Model 720UL to perform at less than optimal functioning. Perform step #5 with this in mind.
5. By turning the needle valve (Figure 2, item 5) on the pilot valve bottom adjust the valve response. Turn:
• Clockwise to decrease (-) the closing speed of the main valveor
• Counterclockwise to increase (+) the closing speed of the main valve.6. Repeat the Starting-up procedure, Section 4 “Starting-up” steps 1-5.
Note: Valve response adjustment affects pressure adjustment. Any adjustment to valve response requires rechecking pressure adjustment. See Section 4.1 “Readjusting” steps 1-4.

Warning: Do not turn off the water supply to make repairs without placing a roving fire patrol in the area covered by the system. The patrol should continue until the system is back in service.
1. Prior to turning off any valves place a roving fire patrol in the area covered by the system.
2. In any of the following inspections or testing procedures, if an abnormal condition exists, see “Troubleshooting” on page 6 for possible cause and corrective action.
3. The Model 720UL valve is to be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the Standard for the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, NFPA 25.
5 . 1 N o r m a l C o n d i t i o n s1. All main isolating valves should indicate a fully open position.2. Upstream pressure gauge (Figure 1, item 1) reflects the upstream pressure supplied
to the valve.3. Downstream pressure gauge (5) should be according to the system design criteria.
5 . 2 Q u a r t e r l y I n s p e c t i o n1. The system should be checked for normal conditions.2. Verify that the main valve, pilot system, accessories, tubing and fittings, are all in
good condition, damage free and not leaking.3. The fastening nut, of the pilot valve (Figure 2, item 3) adjusting screw, should be
fastened tightly.
5 . 3 A n n u a l I n s p e c t i o n a n d Te s t1. Complete Quarterly Inspection.2. Conduct a flow test in systems nominal flow. The downstream pressure gauge
should show the adjusted downstream pressure, and according to the system design criteria, this pressure should be stable. If re-adjusting is needed, perform according to Section 4.1 “Readjusting” .
