What materials are Cash Valve Type B regulators available in?
These valves are available with bronze and iron bodies.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the systems Type B valves are designed for?
- Water and air service: up to 180°F
- Steam service: up to 400°F
What is the maximum initial pressure that Type B valves can regulate?
It depends on the body material and service.
| Service | Body material | Maximum initial pressure (psig) |
|---|---|---|
| Water or air | Iron | 200 |
| Water or air | Bronze | 400 |
| Steam | Iron | 150 |
| Steam | Bronze | 250 |
What’s the minimum outlet or delivery pressure Type B regulators can deliver?
You can adjust any Type B valve to deliver a minimum of 2 psi.
What’s the maximum outlet or delivery pressure Type B regulators can deliver?
It depends on the body material and service.
| Body material | Maximum reduced (outlet/delivery) pressure (psig) |
|---|---|
| Iron | 125 (steam); 150 (water) |
| Bronze | 150 (steam, water, and air) |
How do I adjust the pressure that my Type B valve delivers?
To increase the delivery pressure, turn the adjusting screw* clockwise. To decrease the delivery pressure, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
*T-handle and aluminum handwheel options are available.
What information do I need to specify and purchase a Type B valve?
- Valve size
- Service (water, air, light oil, etc.)
- Inlet pressure
- Outlet or delivery pressure range and setting
- System operating temperature
- Optional features, if any, as described for a specific valve
What sets Cash Valve Type B valves apart from other pressure regulators?
These valves are easy to use, low-maintenance, and built to last.
