1 No 
pressure

Static conditions 
(no flow)

The o-ring is relaxed
(Position 1).

2 Normal  
pressure   

Dynamic 
conditions (flow)

The o-ring subjected to the line pressure is compressed into the seating area which reduces the water passage (position 2).

3 High 
pressure

As the pressure increases the o-ring is compressed further into the seating area and reduces the water passage further (Position 3).
As the pressure decreases the o-ring relaxes and reopens the water passage (return to position 2 and 1).
 
PCA® products are the combination of NEOPERL® innovative stream quality products and pressure compensating flow regulators. PCA® faucet aerators, laminar devices and sprays produce a constant flow regardless of pressure fluctuations. They are the products of choice for high end faucets, low flow or low pressure applications, metering faucets and commercial installations where they contribute to a more even water distribution between multiple points of use.
