Looking for 6" Pressure Reducing Valve (plastic or stainless)
Looking for 6" Pressure Reducing Valve (plastic or stainless)
(OP)
Does anybody know of manufacturer(s) that carries a 6" pressure reducing valve in pvc and stainless steel 316?
It seems as if most pvc companies only carry the valve up to 4".

Depending on the pressure drop you need to achieve may be tha 4" valve will do just fine... it is very common that the control valve is smaller than the pipe size (usually 1 size smaller).
For good control characteristics you want the control valve to operate between 30~70% travel... a full size valve may have to operate beyond that range
Then you'd only need some reducers.

The point made by Albeto is very valid. try getting the valve sized and you may find that you do not require a 6" valve.
