Bronze Direct-Acting Pressure Reducing Valve – Z-Tide Industrial RDTB Series
The Z-Tide Industrial RDTB Series is a compact direct-acting pressure reducing valve designed to automatically reduce and maintain stable downstream pressure in compressed air, water and compatible fluid systems.
Manufactured from heavy-duty bronze with a balanced piston and diaphragm design, the RDTB provides accurate outlet pressure regulation with fast response to changing flow demand. The balanced pressure system helps maintain the selected downstream pressure despite normal variations in inlet pressure.
Available from 1/2" to 2" BSPT with optional NPT threads, the RDTB offers flow capacities up to Cv 28 and is supplied with a pressure gauge for simple adjustment and continuous outlet pressure monitoring.
Its compact construction makes it particularly suitable for OEM machinery, compressed air installations, industrial water systems, cooling circuits and general plant pressure regulation.

Manufacturing quality
Manufactured using a heavy-duty bronze body with a balanced piston and diaphragm assembly, the Z-Tide Industrial RDTB Series has been engineered for reliable long-term pressure regulation in industrial environments. The balanced pressure system automatically maintains a stable downstream pressure regardless of normal inlet pressure fluctuations, while the combined diaphragm and piston design provides rapid response with minimal leakage and accurate outlet pressure control. The compact construction allows installation in confined spaces without compromising performance, making the RDTB Series an excellent choice for both new equipment and retrofit installations.
