What is a Pressure Regulator?
A pressure regulator is a device designed toautomatically regulate water pressure in pipes ortubing downstream of its location. Pressureregulators have become an effective toolextensively used in solid-set, mechanical-moveand low-volume irrigation systems to achievespecific design objectives.
Distribution uniformity - a primary design objective
One standard design objective is to take a finiteamount of water and apply it uniformly over aspecific area. Uncontrolled pressure fluctuationsinto emission devices result in unwanted flowdeviations and lower distribution uniformities.Common causes of pressure variation includechanges in system demand and/or water supply,rolling terrain and friction loss through pipe andfittings. Proper use of pressure regulatorsprevents pressure fluctuations from diminishingthe distribution uniformity and economicefficiency of an irrigation system.
Many irrigation systems have the potential to experience elevation and pressure changes
causing flow fluctuations on unregulated systems.

Pressure Regulators and Distribution Uniformity
Regulators ensure proper operating pressures
Some system components may fail or exhibitunacceptable performance characteristics ifpressures exceed a specific point. For example,most low-volume tubing and tape products have amaximum pressure rating to prevent productdamage or failure. Mechanical move systemcomponents have a range of pressures thatprovide optimal performance. For instance, whenpressures are allowed to exceed 15 to 20 psi, spraynozzles can produce water droplets that aresusceptible to evaporation and wind drift. Productlongevity can be enhanced for many otherapplicators by heeding the manufacturersmaximum pressure recommendations.
Pressure Regulation is important for energy conservation
An increasing awareness of energy andpumping costs are resulting in efforts to conserveenergy through improved irrigation systemdesign. This objective can be achieved by loweringthe operating pressure of the system. However, thelower a system’s design pressure, the more criticalit is to accurately control its pressure.
For example, comparing two systems ... in asystem designed with an operating pressure of 60 psi, a 5 psi pressure fluctuation results in a 4% flow deviation. In a system designed with a 20psi operating pressure, that same 5 psi pressurefluctuation results in a 12% flow deviation (a flowdeviation 3 times greater).
Proper system design hinges on pressure regulation
With current water availability and qualityconcerns placing an ever-increasing demand forgreater efficiencies from irrigation systems,pressure regulation is critical. Good distributionuniformity is dependent on proper system design.Proper system design hinges on a designer’sability to control the hydraulics of the systemthrough pressure regulation.

Senninger Pressure Regulators must always be placed downstream of all shut-off valves and filters.
Make sure to install regulator in the properdirection. Each regulator has a directional arrowembossed on the side of its lower housing thatshows the direction of flow and should pointdownstream toward the drip tubing, sprinklers,emitters, etc.
Never disassemble a pressure regulator.Regulators contain a compressed spring whichmay cause injury if released.

CAUTION: Always install downstream

Water Hammer DamageThe pressure regulator may have been subjected tosudden high inlet pressure or water hammer. Verifyinlet pressure under normal operation. Confirm if awater hammer is occurring.
Shut-Off Valve LocationNever use a shut-off valve on theoutlet/downstream side of the pressure regulator(unless you are using the PRLV, Pressure RegulatingLimit Valve). The regulator is designed to operate ina dynamic situation within the recommended flow range.
Proper MountingIf the regulator is installed backwards (see arrowembossed on the side of the lower housing), leakagebetween the two housings indicates that there hasbeen damage to the regulator's internal diaphragm.
Proper Flow RateFlows exceeding the regulator's rated flow cancause vibration and ultimately internal damage tothe regulator. Refer to the performance chartswithin this document or look at the range printedon the regulator upper housing. When the flowexceeds the capacity of a single regulator, you maychoose a higher flow model or use two or moreregulators in parallel.
Proper Inlet PressurePressures exceeding the maximum recommendedinlet pressure can cause vibration and possible damage to the regulator.
Accurate Pressure GaugeDurable quality gauges should always be usedfor testing pressures. Reliable and accurategauges are available through your localSenninger dealer.
Proper MountingA common error when installing a pressureregulator is placing it backwards. To ensureproper mounting, first locate the directionalarrow embossed on the side of the lowerhousing. This arrow indicates the direction offlow and should point downstream toward thedrip tubing, sprinklers, emitters, etc.
Clogged Screens or Filters DownstreamTo ensure an unobstructed flow, check screensand filters for clogging. Periodic cleaning ofscreens is recommended.
Proper Flow RateFlow through each regulator should be withinit's rated range. Refer to the performance chartswithin this document or look at the rangeprinted on the regulator upper housing.
Breaks or Leaks in Your SystemCheck your system for any leaks or breaks.These will cause irregularities downstreamand/or in your outlet pressures.

contact Senninger Irrigation’s technical servicedepartment in Clermont at 407-293-5555.
* Solution mining models are backed by a one-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
** If a pressure regulator is leaking between the upper and lower housing, there is internal damage that requires replacing the regulator.

How a Pressure Regulator Functions
Pressurized(pressure differential 15 psi)
Pressurized(pressure differential 40 psi)
Each Senninger pressureregulator model has an internalcompression spring correspondingto the specific preset outletpressure rating. The example to theright illustrates how a 10 psi modelreacts to increasing upstreampressure, maintaining thedownstream pressure at 10 psi.
From a normally open position,the throttling stem moves towardthe stationary seat as inlet pressureon the diaphragm increases. Thisadjustment of the flow pathprovides just enough correction tomaintain the downstream pressureat the preset outlet pressure.
Non-Pressurized(pressure differential 0 psi)

Pressure Regulating Limit Valve TM
Advantages of the Senninger Pressure Regulating Limit Valve
• Maintains constant preset outlet pressure with inlet pressures up to 150 psi
• Limits downstream pressure to no more than 15 psi above regulated pressure rating during static (no flow) conditions
• Helps protects downstream components when inlet pressure to PRLV does not exceed 150 psi
• 100% water tested for accuracy (no adjustments ever needed)
• Ideal for livestock watering applications• Above or below ground installation• One-year warranty on materials,
workmanship and performance
Used in place of standard pressure regulatorsto limit static (no flow) water pressure when a shut-off valve is used downstream of regulation point. Limits downstream pressure and protects downstream components.

Pressure Regulating Limit Valve Performance1 – PRLV
1 Regulated pressure is 1/2 psi (0.03 bar) higher with increasing inlet pressure than with decreasing inlet pressure
Because the PRLV is designed to operate with clean water, the use of a filter upstream is recommended.
Filters should be 100 mesh or finer and be capable of flowing up to 15 gpm with no more than 5 psi internal friction loss.
CAUTION: Recommended for outdoor use only.
