Miyawaki REC20L Steam Pressure Reducing Valve with Pulse Line
The Miyawaki REC20L is a direct-acting steam pressure reducing valve featuring an external downstream pressure sensing line. The secondary side pressure is directed to the sensing chamber, and the valve position is mechanically adjusted to maintain the set point without the need for an electric or pneumatic actuator.

- Settings below 0.05 MPa or above 1.6 MPa upon technical selection.
- Maximum pressure reduction ratio: 25:1.
Difference from RE20L
The REC20L is the stainless steel version of the series with a pulse line for steam. It is selected when the body material must be stainless due to installation environment, cleanliness requirements, corrosion, or installation specifications. Compared to ductile cast iron versions, it offers a higher margin in body temperature/pressure, with PN40 and PMO 2.9 MPa.
Operational Use
The valve is applied in local steam reduction stations, compact consumer steam boilers, cleaning systems, food equipment, and lines where actual operating pressure must be measured downstream via a pulse line. The series supports horizontal or vertical installation, bypass operation, and automatic venting.
Selection Points
Correct sizing requires p1, p2, steam flow rate, temperature, piping DN, Kvs, available differential pressure, and reduction ratio. If the p1/p2 ratio exceeds 25:1, pressure reduction should be considered in two stages.
