Product overviewHydraulically operated level control and pressure sustaining valve that controls reservoir filling and reservoir level. During filling the valve sustains a minimum upstream pressure regardless of fluctuating flow or reservoir level. The valve shuts off at a preset high reservoir level and fully opens in response to an approximately 1 m (3 ft) level drop, as sensed by the 3‑Way altitude pilot mounted on the main valve.
Series / Model700 Sigma Series / Model 753-80
Features & benefits- Double‑chamber actuator for moderated valve reaction and protected diaphragm
- Altitude 3‑Way pilot for level sensing and repeatable open/close response
- Designed for excellent anti‑cavitation performance and wide flow range
- Drip‑tight sealing and high stability/accuracy
- Obstacle‑free flow path; V‑Port throttling plug available for very stable low‑flow control
- In‑line serviceable design for simplified maintenance
- Certified to drinking‑water and functional standards: EN‑1074, NSF‑ANSI 61/372, WRAS, AS 5081 (and other relevant standards)
Typical applications- Municipal systems — level control for water towers and elevated reservoirs
- Bi‑level control for water refreshment and reservoir management
- Water delivery systems — prioritizing upstream supply over reservoir filling
- Potable water networks and fire protection systems
Operation notesThe valve is equipped with a 3‑Way altitude pilot mounted on the main valve to sense reservoir level changes; it fully opens after approximately 1 m (3 ft) level drop and shuts off at preset high level. The valve also functions as a pressure sustaining device, maintaining minimum upstream pressure during filling despite flow or level fluctuations.
