Watts R230-03B Regulator

Watts R230-03B Regulator

The Watts R230-03B is a high-performance 3/8" NPT air pressure regulator engineered for precision in industrial pneumatic systems and refrigeration applications. Designed with the veteran contractor in mind, this high flow pressure regulator features a balanced poppet design and a rolling diaphragm to ensure superior repeatability and sensitivity, even during significant supply pressure fluctuations. The inclusion of an aspiration tube provides a dampening action that maintains stable output by minimizing the effects of flow velocity changes, making it ideal for test equipment, valve operators, and positioning cylinders. With a maximum inlet pressure of 250 PSI and a reduced pressure range of 0-30 PSI, this unit delivers a high flow capacity of up to 80 SCFM. The R230-03B is built with a rugged aluminum body and Buna-N seals, serving as a reliable pneumatic regulator that allows for on-line maintenance without removing the unit from the air line.

Key Benefits
  • Precise Pressure Control: Responsive diaphragm design senses downstream pressure drops as small as 1/4" water column for exact regulation.
  • High Flow Performance: Achieves up to 80 SCFM with minimal pressure drop, optimized for high-demand compressed air systems.
  • Enhanced Stability: The aspirated design compensates for flow variations, ensuring constant output in complex gas mixing or web tensioning setups.
  • Dual Gauge Ports: Features two 1/4" NPT full-flow gauge ports for flexible installation and easy monitoring of system performance.
  • Field Serviceable: The Watts R230 series is designed for rapid maintenance, allowing for internal component service while remaining in the piping.
Common Questions

Is the Watts R230-03B suitable for fluctuating inlet pressures?
Yes, the balanced poppet design utilizes a rolling diaphragm to neutralize the effect of inlet pressure changes, maintaining a consistent downstream set point.

Can this regulator be used for panel-mounted applications?
While the standard R230-03B features a knob adjustment for inline use, its compact footprint is frequently utilized in test panels and laboratory environments.

What is the relief type for this pneumatic valve?
This model is a relieving-type regulator, meaning it will automatically bleed off excess downstream pressure when the set point is lowered or if there is a pressure surge.
