KEY FEATURES
• Protects against power failure
Relief / Sustaining / Surge
106-RPS-L&H Globe
Product Overview
The 106-RPS-L&H and 206-RPS-L&H anticipating surge relief valves are based on the 106-PG or 206-
PG main valve.
The valve is mounted in a tee, downstream of the pump check valve(s). It is designed to anticipate
surges to avoid the severe water hammer often associated with power failure surges.
The RPS-L&H pilot system is comprised of two pilots, the 81-RP and the 82-PR. Both pilots sense
pressure through a connection to the header pipe. The 81-RP high pressure pilot opens the valve to
relieve excess pressure. The model 82-PR low pressure pilot opens quickly on below normal pressures
prior to the return of a surge wave, initiating the opening of the main valve in anticipation of the high
pressure wave’s arrival.

Schematic Drawing
1. Main Valve - 106-PG or 206-PG
Schematic A-0400C
Note: Schematic shown is for 2 in / 50 mm to 6 in / 150 mm
Standard Materials
Standard materials for pilot system components are:
• ASTM B-62 bronze or ASTM B-16 brass
• AISI 303 / 316 stainless steel trim
Specifications
• The valve shall be a Singer Valve model 106-RPS-L&H / 206-RPS-L&H, size “_____”, ANSI Class
150 (ANSI 300, ANSI flanges drilled to ISO PN 10 / 16/ 25 or 40) pressure rating / flange standard,
globe (angle), style valve. The Model 81-RP Pressure Relief Pilot (Normally Closed Pilot) spring
range shall be “___ to ___” psi / bar, with set-point preset at Singer Valve to “___” psi / bar. The
Model 82-PR Low Surge Pilot spring range shall be “___ to ___” psi / bar, with set-point preset at
Singer Valve to “___” psi / bar. Assembly shall be according to Schematic A-0400C, 6 in / 150 mm
and smaller (A-0401C, 8 in / 200 mm and larger).
• The valve is closed when line pressure is between the set-points of the two pilots. The valve opens
initially when line pressure drops below the setting of the low-pressure pilot to anticipate surges
associated with a pump stopping. The valve will also continue to react and remain open when the
return high-pressure wave is above the setting of the high-pressure pilot or will open when inlet
pressure exceeds a pre-determined set-point at which time the valve opens quickly.
• Refer to Main Valve section, see page 11, 106-PG (or 206-PG) for detailed information pertaining to
valve sizes and materials, selection criteria and specifications.
• Refer to Pilot and Accessories section, see page 249, Model 81-RP Pressure Relief (Normally
Closed Pilot) for detailed information pertaining to materials and specifications. Model 82-PR Low
Surge Pressure Pilot specification information is available from Singer Valve only at this time.
