The pressure reducing valve 312 / 315.5 is used for
reducingpressureinclosedsystemswithmediaasgiven
in the specifications below.
The pressure reducing valve should be fitted free from
stress into the water supply. Installation in the main
supply isrecommendedtoproduceequalpressurevalues
in the whole installation. The valve is protected against
malfunction(causedbydirtparticles)byanincorporated
strainer(meshwidth0,25mm).Incaseofparticlesofless

Under normal conditions the pressure reducing valve
shouldnotrequireanyspecialmaintenance.
If the outlet pressure increases to the same level as the
inletpressure,thevalveseatmaybeclogged.Ifso,itwill
be necessary to clean the built in pressure reducer
cartridge.
To do this,
1- Closeisolatingvalvesupstreamanddownstreamof

2- Unscrewcap
3- Removethe captogetherwith completecontrolunit
4- Rinsein cleanwater
Donot useany solvents
to clean the strainer as
this may cause damage
to the plastic
components of the valve.
Thecompletecartridgecan
now be replaced into the
body.
Thepressuresettingwillnot
need to be reset due to the
unique design of the SYR
312/315.5valve.

What to do......
ifthedownstreampressurerisesabovethesetpressure
in the case of a pressure reducing valve installed for the
purpose of reducing pressure in a hot water system, the
causeisveryoftenduetopressure crossflowinamixing
valve, due to the fact that the cold water supply has not
beenfittedwith apressurereducer.
Thisoccursespeciallyinthecaseofthermostaticmixing
valves,single-levermixingvalvesornormaltwo-tapmixing
valveswithcloggedanti-splashnozzles.
Such faults can only be eliminated by installing the
pressure reducing valve in the main supply line, thus
reducing the pressure in both, the hot and cold water
supply systems to the same level.
