Pietro Fiorentini Norval Regulator
The Pietro Fiorentini Norval Regulator is a spring-loaded, self-actuated gas pressure regulator designed for downstream pressure control in medium- and low-pressure applications. Its balanced valve design delivers fast, accurate response to sudden changes in flow or pressure, making it ideal for ON-OFF burners and variable-flow industrial processes.
Thanks to its top-entry construction, the Norval regulator allows full maintenance without removing it from the pipeline. It’s widely used in commercial and industrial settings, as well as natural gas gate stations.
