The Cla-Val Model 100-30 Powercheck Valve is a
hydraulically operated diaphragm valve with a built-in check
feature to prevent return flow. Available in globe or angle
pattern, it consists of four major components: body,
intermediate chamber, diaphragm assembly, and cover. The
diaphragm assembly is the only moving part.
The diaphragm assembly is guided top, center and bottom by
a precision machined stem and utilizes a non-wicking
diaphragm of nylon fabric bonded with synthetic rubber. A
synthetic rubber disc retained on three and one half sides
forms a drip-tight seal with the renewable seat when pressure
is applied above the diaphragm. When pressure above the
diaphragm is relieved, the valve opens wide. The rate of
closing or opening can be controlled by modulating flow into
or out of the diaphragm chambers.
When a pressure reversal occurs, the valve will immediately
close, preventing reverse flow thru the valve. The split stem
will allow the disc retainer assembly to check closed
regardless of the position of the diaphragm.
Principle of Operation
Four-Way Control
Full Open Operation
When operating pressure below the
diaphragm is greater than the
pressure in the cover chamber, the
valve is held open, allowing full
flow.
Note: For optimum operation of built-in check feature, installation with stem vertically up is recommended.
Tight Closing Operation
When pressure below the
diaphragm is relieved and operating
pressure is applied to the cover
chamber, the valve closes
drip-tight.
Four-Way Control
When a static condition or pressure
reversal occurs, the split stem
design allows the valve to instantly
check closed. Return flow is
prevented regardless
of the diaphragm's
position.

Options
Epoxy Coating - suffix KC
This option NSF 61 Listed and FDA
approved, fusion bonded epoxy coating
is for use with cast iron, ductile iron or
steel valves. This coating is resistant to
various water conditions, certain acids,
chemicals, solvents and alkalies.
coatings are applied in accordance with
AWWA coating specifications C116-03.
Do not use with temperatures above
Viton® Rubber Parts
-
suffix KB
Optional diaphragm, disc and o-ring
fabricated with Viton® synthetic rubber.
Viton® is well suited for use with mineral
acids, salt solutions, chlorinated
hydrocarbons, and petroleum oils; and is
primarily used in high temperature
applications up to 250° F. Do not use
with epoxy coating above 175°F.
Epoxy
175° F.
-
Heavy Spring
suffix KH
The heavy spring option is used in
applications where there is low differential
pressure across the valve, and the
additional spring force is needed to help
the valve close. The option is best suited
for valves used in on-off (non-modulating)
service.

Cla-Val Control Valves operate with maximum efficiency when mounted in horizontal piping with the main valve cover UP, however, other
positions are acceptable. Due to component size and weight of 8 inch and larger valves, installation with cover UP is advisable. We recommend
isolation valves be installed on inlet and outlet for maintenance. Adequate space above and around the valve for service personnel should be
considered essential. A regular maintenance program should be established based on the specific application data. However, we recommend a
thorough inspection be done at least once a year. Consult factory for specific recommendations.
