OverviewHydraulically operated, diaphragm-actuated burst control valve that detects excessive flow levels. When flow exceeds the set threshold the valve closes and latches drip-tight until manually reset. Under normal flow conditions the valve remains fully open to minimize head loss. A mechanical flow stem allows precise limitation of the valve opening stroke to set the permitted flow.
Key Features & Benefits- Excellent anti-cavitation performance
