OverviewHydraulically operated, solenoid-controlled, off-line surge-anticipating control valve designed to pre-open on an electric signal to dissipate returning high-pressure waves and relieve excessive system pressure. The valve closes drip-tight with a controlled profile to prevent closing surge and supports inline serviceability for maintenance.
Key Features & Benefits- Excellent anti-cavitation characteristics
- Wide flow range for variable system demands
- High stability and accurate regulation
- Drip‑tight sealing to avoid leakage
Double chamber design- Moderated valve reaction for smooth actuation
- Protected and isolated diaphragm
- Optional operation at very low inlet pressures
- Controlled closing curve to prevent transient spikes
Additional Features- Flexible modular design — easy addition of options
- Obstacle-free flow path to minimize pressure loss and wear
- Optional V‑Port throttling plug for stable low‑flow control
- High-grade materials suitable for potable and process water
- In-line serviceable actuator for simplified maintenance
- Certified to functional and drinking water standards (EN‑1074, NSF/ANSI 61‑372, WRAS, AS 5081 and others)
Typical Applications- Pumping stations — surge control and protection
