SELF-CLOSING PRE-RINSE VALVE ASSY. STRA

Pre-rinse spray valves used in commercial and institutional kitchens are designed to remove food waste from dishes prior to dishwashing. Pre-rinsing can account for nearly one-third of the water used in a typical commercial kitchen. According to the US EPA replacing existing, non-efficient pre-rinse spray heads flowing at 1.6 gallons per minute (gpm) or greater with high efficiency, DOE compliant models offers a significant opportunity for water and cost savings within commercial kitchens.

Valves are widely used in different restaurant equipment designs. A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, steam, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. 

Valves may be operated manually, either by a handle, lever, pedal or wheel. Valves may also be automatic, driven by changes in pressure, temperature, or flow, allowing control over a variety of operational requirements.
