The BP-6 Series was originally designed as a back pressure regulator for reverse osmosis water purification systems. It may also be easily used in pilot facilities and large instrumentation systems. The standard 316 stainless seat assembly, which was intended for long term usage in sea water, can also be useful in various chemical environments. While the stainless seat assembly does not offer tight shutoff, it is not normally required in high flow systems. If a more positive shutoff is required a PTFE/stainless seal assembly is available.

The BP-6 Series is normally provided in 316 stainless construction but other materials are available.
