Powercheck Valve
• Built-in Automatic Check Valve
• Reduced Cavitation Design
• Service Without Removal From Line
• Packless Construction
• Drip-Tight, Positive Seating
The Cla-Val Model 100-31 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: the body, intermediate chamber, diaphragm assembly and
cover. The diaphragm assembly is the only moving part.
The diaphragm assembly which is guided top, center and bottom by a
precision machined stem 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 the flow into or out
of the cover chamber. When a pressure reversal occurs the valve will
immediately close, preventing reverse flow through the valve. The
split stem will allow the disc retainer assembly to check closed
regardless of the position of the diaphragm.
The Model 100-31 Powercheck Valve is recommended on system
applications where a positive check feature is necessary to prevent
reverse flow.
Principle of Operation
4 - 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.
4 - 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.

Application Note
The distinctive smooth flow path of the 600
series Powercheck valve is engineered to
overcome cavitation problems. It's unique
design is highly resistant to cavitation damage
under severe pressure drops. Tests have
proven it to be effective in preventing valve
body and seat pitting.
We also offer a free computerized cavitation
analysis. This analysis provides cavitation
damage information for actual conditions
provided by the customer. If there is an application where the potential for cavitation exists,
the 600 series Powercheck valve provides
substantial resistance to this problem.

Service and Installation
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 10 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.
