Cash Acme 3/4" Type BBC Pressure Regulating Valve 04999-0020

The Cash Acme Type BBC Pressure Regulating Valve is a robust, bronze-bodied device designed for precise control of water pressure in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. This 3/4-inch model (part number 04999-0020) is factory-set at 20 PSI, with an adjustable range from 10 to 30 PSI, making it ideal for applications requiring low-pressure regulation, such as irrigation systems, boiler feeds, or process water lines. It features a durable cast iron body painted red for corrosion resistance, with bronze internals for longevity and reliability in harsh environments. Key benefits include easy adjustability via a screw mechanism, high flow capacity, and compliance with industry standards for lead-free construction. Compared to similar products like Watts or Zurn regulators, the BBC offers superior pressure stability at low settings and a higher maximum working pressure of 300 PSI, reducing the risk of system overpressure. Drawbacks may include its weight and the need for periodic maintenance in high-sediment water. This valve excels in preventing water hammer and ensuring consistent downstream pressure, enhancing system efficiency and equipment protection. Based on image analysis, the unit appears new or unused, wrapped in plastic with intact labels showing serial number 4999-20 and no visible wear.
