OverviewHydraulically operated pressure relief / pressure sustaining control valve capable of two distinct functions: installed in-line it sustains a pre-set minimum upstream (back) pressure regardless of fluctuating flow or varying downstream pressure; installed as a branched-from-line circulation valve it relieves excessive line pressure when above a pre-set maximum.
Features & Benefits- Designed for demanding conditions
- Excellent anti-cavitation properties
- Wide flow capacity
- High stability and pressure-control accuracy
- Drip-tight sealing
- Double-chamber design
- Moderated valve response
- Protected diaphragm
- Optional operation at very low pressure
- Controlled closing curve
- Flexible configuration — easy addition of options
- Obstacle-free flow passage
- V-Port throttling plug (optional) — very stable at low flow
- In-line serviceable — simplified maintenance
- Certified for potable water and functional standards — EN-1074, NSF/ANSI 61-372, WRAS, AS 5081 and others
Typical Applications- Water distribution systems — prioritize upstream pressure over downstream demand
- Water networks — sustain upstream pressure to maintain service levels
- Pumping stations — ensure operating point on pump curve
- Pumping station circulation during low demand periods
- Filtration and backwash systems — maintain minimum pressure for efficient backflush
