A relief valve of not less than 1\/2 inch in size must be installed on the downstream side of the pressure control valve with adequate drainage for the relief valve discharge. The valve must be installed in accordance with NFPA 13 for sprinkler systems or NFPA 14 for standpipes and hose systems, and maintained according to NFPA 25. Recommended installation orientation is horizontal with valve cover up; 6 inch and larger valves should only be installed horizontally due to air bleeding and maintenance requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandards Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: #f8f9fb; border-left: 4px solid #1d85af; padding: 12px 14px; margin: 0; line-height: 1.7; color: #333;\"\u003eANSI\/AWWA C530; AWWA C606; ANSI B1.20.1; ANSI B16.42; NFPA 13; NFPA 14; NFPA 25; UL Listed; C-UL Listed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot-Operated Pressure Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reacts to downstream pressure changes for modulating valve action, ensuring constant outlet pressure regardless of flow rate or inlet pressure variations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive Standard Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes wye-type strainer, inlet and outlet pressure gauges with 3-way isolation valves, and red epoxy coating for corrosion protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Control Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Field-adjustable pilot spring range from 50 to 165 psi residual pressure with 175 psi maximum static pressure for flexible system configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ductile iron body with stainless steel internal components and FDA-approved red epoxy coating provides long-lasting performance in fire protection applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the minimum inlet pressure required for the Wilkins 8-ZW209FPG to operate properly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The minimum inlet pressure must be at least 10 psi higher than the set point or the additional body friction loss at intended flow, whichever is higher.
