Regulators/Back Pressure Regulators/Back Pressure to Vacuum/

Back Pressure to Vacuum

The Back Pressure to Vacuum Regulator processes gas to control pressure upstream of the valve. It can utlize dry process gas to operate the integrated pilot and is commonly used on separators, heater treaters, compressor stations, and gas gathering systems.

These valves are classified as intermittent venting (non-bleed), and meet most producer's emissions standards.
