Miyawaki REC1 Direct-Acting Steam Pressure Reducer
The Miyawaki REC1 is a self-operated pressure reducer designed for small steam lines. Downstream pressure is detected in the internal control chamber, directly adjusting the valve opening without the need for electric or pneumatic actuators. Adjustment is made via the top handle.

- REC1-6 / REC1-6F: p1 0.2–1.6 MPa, p2 0.18–0.6 MPa.
- REC1-10 / REC1-10F: p1 0.6–1.6 MPa, p2 0.54–1.0 MPa.
Applications
Used in compact steam consumers, food equipment, medical devices, biotech units, and small thermal processes. Stainless steel construction is preferred for increased corrosion resistance or cleaner installation environments.
Installation and Selection
Installation requires pipeline cleaning, flow direction according to the body, straight sections at least 10 × DN before and after the valve, pressure gauges, isolation valves, bypass, and upstream filter 60–80 mesh. Selection requires p1, p2, steam flow, temperature, connection, and reduction ratio check.
