Julius Ballanco, P.E., president of JB Engineering and Code Consulting, leads an online webinar, “Applying Pressure Reducing Valves in Plumbing Systems,” from noon to 1 p.m. CT, Thursday, July 28.
He will discuss boiler replacement, particularly oil heat, and swapping like-for-like or migrating to a condensing boiler.
There is no cost for the complimentary education series, Coffee with Caleffi, but registration is required.
Topics include:
- What is a PRV (pressure reducing valve)?
- Are there different types, sizes, configurations?
- How they work.
- Do they have a Cv rating like a control valve or mixing valve?
- Selecting the right one for your project.
- What kinds of approvals or certifications are applicable to PRVs?
- Does every building and every home need one?
- Is more than one needed in a given building?
- Does a PRV need to withstand high water temperatures?
- What can cause a PRV to make objectionable noise?
- What other devices are commonly installed on the same pipe leg?
- Common issues related to installation and maintenance.
- Are changes in technology or regulations that would affect PRV designs or product requirements?
