Model ZW209FP

Fire Protection Pressure Reducing Valve

Application
The Zurn Wilkins Model ZW209FP Pilot Operated Pressure
Reducing Valve is designed specifically for Fire Suppression
Systems to reduce high inlet pressures to a safe and stable
outlet pressure. The pilot assembly reacts to changes in
downstream pressure allowing the main valve to modulate
between the closed and open position ensuring a constant
downstream set pressure. Once the downstream pres-
sure reaches the pilot setting, the main valve will seal shut
OW
preventing damage downstream. Pressure regulation is not FL

* Notes for Body Minimum Friction Loss Chart:

Minimum inlet pressure is 10 psi higher than set point or the additional body friction loss at intended flow, whichever is higher.
(friction loss may be important at flows above 20 ft/s)
Example: A 6” valve intended to flow 2000 GPM at 150 psi has a friction loss of 20 psi at 2000 GPM. The minimum inlet pres-
sure would be 150 + 20 = 170 psi. When inlet pressure is below set point, the outlet pressure will be the pressure at the inlet
minus the friction loss.

Operation
The Model ZW209FP utilizes a pressure reducing pilot valve that installs on the discharge side of the control circuitry. The pi-
lot is a direct acting, normally open, spring loaded, diaphragm actuated valve. The operation of the ZW209FP begins with ac-
curately sizing the valve, then fine tuning the control circuit by adjusting the pilot spring to the desired downstream pressure.
Inlet pressure is piped to the inlet port of the pressure reducing pilot. A sensing line runs internally from the discharge side of
the pilot to its lower control chamber under the diaphragm. Thus, downstream pressure exceeding the preset acts to close
the pilot while the adjustable spring seeks to keep it open. The result is a modulating action in the pilot that is transmitted to
the cover of the main valve. This creates a mirror modulation of the diaphragm assembly in the main valve. Downstream pres-
sure is maintained within narrow limits regardless of changing flow rates or varying inlet pressures.

Typical Installation
The upstream and downstream pressure gauges are required by Underwriters Laboratories® (UL). Also a relief valve of not
less than 1/2" in size MUST be installed on the downstream side of the pressure control valve. Adequate drainage for the
relief valve discharge must be provided.

Ul Installation Specification Requirements

UL installation specifications require the valve to be installed in accordance with the standard for installation of sprinkler
systems, NFPA 13, or the standard for installation of standpipes and hose systems, NFPA 14. The valve is to be inspected,
tested and maintained in accordance with the standard for the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire
Protection Systems, NFPA 25.
