Model PV-PRD
Pressure Reducing Valve
a company
®
®
The PV-PRD Pressure Reducing Valve may be installed
in any position. There is one inlet port and two outlets, for
either straight or angled installation. A ow arrow is marked
on the body and should be oriented as needed.
DISASSEMBLY
Prior to disassembly, relieve all pressure in pilot system
and then remove the PV-PRD.
1. Secure valve body and remove main cap on bottom
of valve using an adjustable wrench.
2. Use a 13 mm socket to remove the plunger.
3. Next remove adjustment cover (plastic cover), 3/8”
adjustment bolt with nut, 8 socket head screws
around the pilot bell using a 5/32" hex key, spring,
and spring disc.
4. At this point the PRV stem yoke is free to move and
can be removed from the valve body.
5. Continue to remove the 5/16" diaphragm nut, lock
washer, and diaphragm retainer.
6. After completely disassembling, thoroughly clean and
inspect all components before reassembly. Replace
any parts as necessary after inspection.
7. The pilot seat generally does not need to be removed,
but it can be removed with a 1/2" socket, if required.
REASSEMBLY
Reassembly of the PV-PRD is the reverse of disassembly.
1. Install the new o-ring on top of pilot yoke threads follo-
wed by new diaphragm and diaphragm disc.
Then place lock washer over pilot yoke stem along
with the 5/16" diaphragm nut and tighten. Diaphragm
bolt holes must be centered on yoke legs.
See following diagram:
3. Then attach plunger to the bottom of the pilot yoke via
the main cap hole and tighten with a 13 mm socket.
4. Install main cap in bottom of valve body with new
o-ring.
5. Install spring, spring disc, and pilot bell on the valve
body.
6. Insert socket head cap screws into pilot bell holes
and thread into valve body. Tighten all screws in a
cross pattern.
7. Install adjusting screw by hand with jam nut. Set valve
once reinstalled into main valve pilot system.
8. While owing water as shown in Table 1, adjust the
Wilkins PV-PRD control to desired pressure if installed
on an ACV. To change pressure setting, turn the
adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure,
counterclockwise to decrease pressure. There must
be liquid owing through the valve during pressure
adjustments. When the desired setting has been
made, tighten jam nut.

NOTE: Line up diaphragm screw holes with holes
in body. Move yoke up and down checking for yoke
contacting or dragging on valve body.

Installation Instructions
Before installing the pressure reducing valve, ush out
the line to remove loose dirt and scale which might damage
the plunger and seat. Install the valve in line with the arrow
on the valve body pointing in the direction of ow. All
valves will be furnished with stock settings. To readjust
reduced pressure, loosen the outer locknut and turn the
adjustment bolt clockwise (into the bell housing) to raise
the reduced pressure, or counterclockwise (out of the
bell housing) to lower the reduced pressure. The valve
may be installed in a horizontal or vertical position.
PV-PRD SPECS:
Adjustment Range Pressure: 20-200 psi
(Flowing residual outlet pressure)
Max Inlet Pressure: 400 psi
NOTE : All adjustments should be made with a pres-
sure gauge and while owing water through the main
valve.
