DIAPHRAGM OPERATED VALVES

The Y-pattern diaphragm valve, with large seat opening and high lift disc, permits greater ows at lower pressure loss than any comparable valve. Positive control action is achieved, either hydraulically or pneumatically without the aid of springs. Components are serviceable while the valve is in line. These valves are available in both metallic and thermoplastic materials and are ideal for water treatment equipment such as water softeners and media lters.

FEATURES
Durable & Cost effective Extended diaphragm life Low pressure loss through valve Large opening, high lift disc gives high ow rates Positive closing and opening Hydraulic or pneumatic operation Diaphragm replaceable without interruption of ow Adaptable to many control devices

Full Open Operation When closing pressure, in upper chamber, is relieved by venting the pilot line, the valve opens, positively, by line pressure on the disc.

OPTIONS

LINE PRESSURE

Drip-Tight Closing Closure is obtained by directing line pressure or equivilent independent pressure into the upper chamber. This pressure on the large diaphragm area causes the valve

FLOW RATES
Y-pattern design, large seat opening and high-lift diaphragm produce excellent ow characteristics. There are no springs and related parts to consume space or restrict ow. The diaphragm is shape-formed of Buna N on Nylon to assure long life. It can be replaced without stopping ow, and all parts can be serviced with the valve in line. Valves are available with cast iron and brass. Maximum operating pressure: 125 psi (860 kPa); Minimum operating pressure: 7 psi (48 kPa); Maximum temperature: 300o F. (148o C). For versatillity of application, valves are available to be either opened or closed by pilot pressure.
