Cash Acme EB25 Plus pressure regulating valve
Reliance Worldwide Corp. launched the Cash Acme EB25 Plus pressure regulating valve that replaces both parallel or series system installations and automatic control valves with a single valve, providing fast setup and maintenance.

Pressure can be adjusted in the field in less than five minutes by pulling the cap off and adjusting the nut to achieve the desired pressure. Replacing the need for an ACV, the EB25 Plus can be installed at any orientation — vertical, horizontal, upwards or inverted. The single-valve design reduces the cost of materials, as well as setup and maintenance time. The single-cartridge design can be serviced with the valve body in place. 877-700-4242; www.cashacme.com
