The standard version has an PM diaphragm and is suitable for steam, water and air applications. The RV4 is available with a Nitrile rubber diaphragm (suffix 'N') for oil applications. Nitrile rubber soft seated version (suffix 'G', limited to 90 ) is also available for applications that require tight shut-off. t is recommended that for these applications, a maximum pressure turndown ratio of 10:1 is observed. Note: To protect the actuator diaphragm on steam applications a WS4 water seal pot must be installed in the downstream pressure signal line to the actuator. Refer to T-S12-03 for details. vailable types RV4 and RV4G are available in 6 pressure ranges (suffix 1-6). ownstream pressure ranges: Range Valve type ctuator Spring Pressure range PN type colour rating (bar) 1 RV4(G)1(N) 1 or 1N Yellow *0.1-0.6 2.5 2 RV4(G)2(N) 2 or 2N Yellow **0.2-1.2 2.5 3 RV4(G)3(N) 3 or 3N lue 0.8-2.5 6.0 4 RV4(G)4(N) 4 or 4N lue 2.0-5.0 16.0 5 RV4(G)5(N) 5 or 5N lue 4.5-10.0 25.0 6 RV4(G)6(N) 5 or 5N Red 8.0-20.0 25.0 * N32 to N50 Range 0.15-0.6, Range 0.3-0.6 ** Range 0.4-1.2.

Refer to T-S12-03 for details. The valve should be mounted vertically downwards in a horizontal pipeline with the direction of flow as indicated by the arrow on the valve body. or applications with downstream temperatures below 125 the valve can alternatively be mounted vertically upwards.
