Also known as diaphragm valves, these have a diaphragm that can handle dirty liquid, slurries, and abrasive media without damage. They operate on compressed air to automatically start and stop flow. You must control the air to the actuator using either an electric pilot valve (not included) or a manual on/off valve (not included). Valves don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation. All meet ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class IV for tight shutoff and have a leakage rate of less than 0.01%.
All valves have a single-acting actuator that only requires air pressure to actuate the valve; they automatically return to the valve starting position when the air turns off. The actuator is secured to the valve body with a bracket for easy disassembly, maintenance, and repair. These valves are normally closed unless actuated.
316 stainless steel valves are more corrosion resistant than bronze valves.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
