Product overviewDouble-chambered, hydraulically operated active check pump control valve (Model 740-03-S, 700 Sigma Series). Opens fully or shuts off in response to electric control signals to isolate the pump during start‑up and shutdown, preventing pipeline surges and protecting system components.
Features & benefits- Excellent anti-cavitation performance for prolonged component life
- Wide operating flow range adaptable to variable pump regimes
- High hydraulic stability and control accuracy for consistent pressure management
- Drip-tight sealing to minimize leakage
- In-line serviceable design reduces downtime and simplifies maintenance
Double chamber design- Moderated valve reaction to reduce transient stresses
- Protected diaphragm to extend service intervals
- Optional operation at very low inlet pressures
- Moderated closing curve to limit hydraulic shock
Options & construction- Obstacle-free full-bore flow passage
- V-Port throttling plug (optional) — provides very stable behaviour at low flow
- High-quality corrosion-resistant materials suitable for potable water
- Opening and closing speed controls and limit switch for integration with pump control systems
