4.2 Two or more valves in parallel
When more than one reducing valve is used it is an advantage to use two valves of unequal
size, the smaller one being chosen to meet the lower load requirements and the larger valve
to come into operation so that both meet the normal and maximum demand.
It is necessary to commission each valve independently (one at a time) following the
procedure detailed in Section 4.1 but setting the smaller valve at a pressure higher than
the larger valve.
