RP973 Pneumatic Averaging Relay
A three-port relay used in HVAC systems averages the signals
from two thermostats to control a single device such as a heating
coil valve for a multizone unit. The pneumatic averaging relay
provides an output pressure equal to the average of two input
pressures. Replacement devices are available for Johnson,
Powers, Robertshaw, Barber-Colman, and older Honeywell
devices.
• In-line, wall or panel mounted.
• Sharp-barb air connections.
• Molded plastic construction.
