Parker M324-2201 Pressure Reducing Valve 250 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER M324-2201 is a proportional control pressure reducing valve rated to a maximum of 250 psi. It delivers a reduced outlet pressure range of 3 to 23 psi, making it well suited for fluid systems that require precise downstream pressure control. The valve body is constructed from bronze and features a 1/2 inch Female NPT inlet connection. With an operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 400 degrees F, the M324-2201 handles demanding thermal conditions found in industrial and commercial plumbing and process piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify and install this valve where consistent pressure reduction is critical to system performance and equipment protection.

This valve is designed for use in commercial and industrial fluid handling systems where downstream pressure must be maintained within a narrow, controlled band. Typical applications include process water lines, steam condensate systems, and other piping arrangements requiring stable reduced pressure. The 3 to 23 psi output range suits low-pressure distribution circuits downstream of higher-pressure supply mains. Its bronze body construction makes it appropriate for water, steam, and compatible fluid service within the rated temperature and pressure limits.

Key Features

• Proportional control design maintains reduced outlet pressure within a 3 to 23 psi range
• Maximum inlet pressure rating of 250 psi
• 1/2 inch Female NPT end connection for standard threaded pipe installation
• Bronze body construction for corrosion resistance in water and compatible fluid service
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Compact form factor suitable for space-constrained mechanical rooms

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation pressure reducing valve for commercial and industrial piping systems requiring a 1/2 inch Female NPT threaded connection and a 3 to 23 psi reduced pressure output.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Isolate and depressurize the system fully before removing the existing valve or making new connections. Verify that upstream supply pressure does not exceed the 250 psi maximum rating before commissioning. Inspect downstream system components to confirm they are rated for the intended reduced pressure range after installation.
