Brandoni F15 – Flanged Pressure Reducing Valve

The Brandoni F15 is a direct-acting, piston-operated pressure reducing valve designed for downstream pressure stabilization in water distribution systems. It is specified where the upstream supply pressure exceeds the permissible operating pressure of the downstream network.

Technical Specifications

  • Connection: Flanged, EN 1092
  • Face-to-face: EN 558-1/1, ISO 5752
  • Testing: EN 1074
  • Nominal Diameter (DN): 50–150 mm
  • Pressure Ratings (PN): 10/16, 25, 40
  • Body/Cover: Ductile iron GJS 450-10
  • Internal Components: Stainless steel AISI 303 / AISI 304
  • Sealing: NBR (Buna-N)
  • Operating Temperature: 0 to 70 °C
  • Downstream Pressure Adjustment: 1.5–6 bar or 5–12 bar

Operation and Selection

The valve reduces upstream pressure and maintains a constant downstream pressure regardless of inlet pressure or flow fluctuations. Selection should be based on required flow rate, allowable pressure loss, and noise considerations, not solely on pipeline DN. Pressure reduction ratio should not exceed 5:1 to ensure stable operation and minimize cavitation risk.

Applications

  • Supplying low-pressure networks from high-pressure mains
  • Protection of sensitive equipment or installation branches
  • Hydraulic and sanitary water systems
  • Networks downstream of storage tanks or accumulator systems
  • Compressed air circuits requiring stable pressure

Installation Guidelines

Horizontal installation is recommended. Install upstream filtration, two isolation valves for maintenance, and a downstream safety valve. Clean the pipeline prior to installation to prevent seat and piston damage from debris.

Description

FLANGED DIRECT ACTING, PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES WITH PISTON

The flanged, direct acting, pressure reducing valves, with piston, in the series F15 are suitable for reducing and controlling the pressure.

They are made of ductile iron, with an epoxy coating suitable for drinking water.

Reduces and stabilizes the high upstream pressure into a lower downstream pressure regardless of flow rate and upstream pressure fluctuations.

They are available in PN 10 – 16, PN 25, PN 40 and for 2 regulation ranges of the outlet pressure.

Flanged version DN 50 ‐ 150.

YES: for water.

The pressure reducing valve is used to: > Supply a low pressure network from a high pressure network > Protect a delicate section of a plant or device > In sanitary networks, to keep the pressure level under a maximum value > In compressed air circuits, to keep the pressure constant, independently of any variation caused by compressors > Downstream of tanks or accumulation basins, to reduce and stabilize the pressure of the distribution network.
