A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is used to automatically reduce and regulate downstream pressure within a piping system.

The valve responds to changes in downstream pressure, adjusting its opening to maintain the required outlet pressure despite variations in upstream pressure or flow demand. This provides a controlled pressure supply to downstream piping, equipment and processes.

Pressure reducing valves are particularly important in systems where the available supply pressure is higher than the pressure required by downstream equipment.
