Product overviewHydraulically operated level control and pressure-sustaining valve that controls reservoir filling and level. During filling the valve sustains a minimum upstream pressure regardless of fluctuating flow or reservoir level. Reservoir filling is actuated by a hydraulically controlled non-modulating bi-level vertical float that opens at a preset low level and shuts off drip-tight at a preset high level.
Features & Benefits- Excellent anti-cavitation properties
- Wide flow range
- High stability and accuracy
- Drip-tight sealing
- Flexible design enabling easy addition of features
- Obstacle-free flow path
- Optional V-Port throttling plug for very stable low-flow control
- High-quality materials suitable for potable water
- In-line serviceable for easy maintenance
- Certified to functional and drinking water standards (EN-1074, NSF/ANSI 61-372, WRAS, AS 5081)
Double chamber design- Moderated valve reaction
- Protected diaphragm
- Optional operation at very low pressure
- Moderated closing curve
Typical applications- Level control for water reservoirs
- Bi-level control for water renewal/refreshment
- Water delivery systems — prioritizing upstream over downstream demand
- Acts as a safety valve in tank filling systems
- Potable water, fire protection and grey water systems
How it operatesThe valve is hydraulically actuated and coordinated with a bi-level vertical float pilot. On detecting a preset low reservoir level the float-controlled pilot opens to allow filling; when the preset high level is reached the float pilot shuts the valve drip-tight. While filling, the valve sustains a minimum upstream pressure independent of flow fluctuations or reservoir level changes.
