Pressure Compensating

A pressure compensating product maintains a constant flow regardless of variations in the line pressure therby optimizing system performance and comfort of use at all pressures.

1 No  pressure
Static conditions 
 
(no flow) The o-ring is  
relaxed
 
(Position 1)

2 Normal   pressure   
Dynamic 
 conditions (flow) 
The o-ring subjected to the
line pressure is compressed
into the seating area which
reduces the water passage
(position 2).

3 High 
pressure

As the pressure increases the o-ring is
compressed further into the seating area
and reduces the water passage further
(Position 3).
As the pressure decreases the
o-ring relaxes and reopens the
water passage (return to position 2 and 1).
