The BERMAD Model IR-430 Pressure Relief/Sustaining Valve is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve that can fulfil either of two separate functions. When installed in-line, it sustains minimum preset upstream (back) pressure regardless of fluctuating flow or varying downstream pressure. When installed as a relief or circulation valve, it relieves line pressure in excess of preset.

The Needle Valve [1] continuously allows line pressure into the Control Chamber [2]. The Pressure Sustaining Pilot [3] senses Upstream Pressure [P1], and throttles when it drops below setting*. Pressure then accumulates in the control chamber causing the Valve to throttle closed maintaining [P1] at pilot setting, and eventually closing drip-tight. The pilot releases accumulated pressure when [P1] rises above setting, thereby causing the Valve to modulate open.
* Sustaining (In-Line) Valve Pilot should be set to minimum system pressure allowed.
Relief (Circulation) Valve Pilot should be set slightly above system working pressure.
