OverviewHydraulically operated booster pump control valve that opens fully or shuts off on electric command. Designed to isolate the pump during startup and shutdown to prevent pipeline surge. The MN-740 (700 Sigma Series) is a diaphragm-actuated, oblique-pattern globe valve with a unitized double-chamber actuator and a hydrodynamic body for unobstructed high flow.
Key features- Self-operated hydraulic principle with electric control signal—requires no continuous external power for basic operation.
- Available Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) main valve configurations.
- Hydrodynamic, wide-globe body for higher flow coefficients (Kv/Cv) and reduced head loss.
- Integrated spring-loaded check feature replacing line-sized check valves and providing fail-safe mechanical closure.
- Drip-tight sealing and tamper-resistant design suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Unitized double-chamber actuator: full powered open/close capability (option B) and removable as a single unit for simplified in-line maintenance.
- Flexible modular design for easy addition of optional features; obstacle-free flow path.
Applications- Pump control and protection in water distribution and booster stations.
- Mining and industrial pumping systems requiring pump isolation during start/stop to prevent water hammer.
- Municipal waterworks and large-scale pumping installations.
Optional configurations / notes- Standard configuration or with independent flow check (code "2S").
- Double-chamber actuator option (option "B") for full powered opening/closing.
- Additional pilots, accessories and material options available per technical documentation.
