Scope:

This Standard applies to water pressure reducing valve for potable water distribution systems. The purpose of a water pressure reducing valve for potable water distribution systems is to reduce static and flowing pressures in water distribution systems.

This standard applies to nominal device sizes of 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3, and 4 inches (DN15, DN20, DN25, DN32, DN40, DN50, DN65, DN80, and DN100).

Project need:

To harmonize the current B356 standard with the ASSE 1003 standard and in doing so, to update the standards based on user experience/feedback/new technology.This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of the B64 Technical Committee. It will provide the industry with a harmonized standard for water pressure reducing valves.
