MODEL
90AF4A-3
Pressure Reducing Valve
• Maintains constant downstream pressure
• Closes quickly to prevent downsream surge when flow is
stopped suddenly
• Deadman control
• Surge control prevents damage to refuelers
• Used in conjunction with Cla-Val Bottom-Loading Pantograph
• Fail-safe operation
The Cla-Val Model 90AF-4A-3 Hytrol Valve is used as the basic unit in almost
all Cla-Val automatic control valves for petroleum applications. The 90AF-4A-3
is a hydaulically-operated, diaphragm actuated, globe or angle pattern valve. It
is available in various materials and full range of sizes. It consists of three major
components: body, diaphragm assembly and cover. The diaphragm assembly
is the only moving part. The rugged simplicity of design and packless
construction assure a long life dependable, trouble-free operation. Should the
diaphragm become damaged the valve will close tight, providing “fail safe”
operation. The 90AF-4A-3 Hytrol Valve is used in many types of piping system
requiring control, flow regulation, rate of flow control, or check valve operation.

Principle of Operation
Tight Closing Operation
When pressure from the valve inlet (or
an equivalent independent operating
pressure) is applied to the diaphragm
chamber, the valve closes drip-tight.
When pressure in the diaphragm chamber
is relieved to zone of lower pressure under
the valve. Flow in either direction is
permitted.
Full Open Operation
The valve modulates when diaphragm
chamber pressure is held at an
intermediate point between inlet and
discharge pressure changes, the
pressure above the diaphragm is varied
allowing the valve to modulate and
compensate for the changes.

Purchase Specifications
The valve shall be hydraulically-operated, diaphragm-actuated, globe or angle pattern
valve. It shall contain a resilient, synthetic rubber disc, having a rectangular cross
section, contained on three and on-half sides by a disc retainer and disc guide, forming
a tight seal against a single renewable seat. The valve stem shall be guided at both
ends by a bearing in the valve cover and an integral bearing in the valve seat. The
diaphragm assembly shall be the only moving part and shall form a sealed chamber in
the upper portion of the valve, separating operating pressure from line pressure. The
diaphragm consist of nylon fabric bonded with synthetic rubber and shall not be used
as a seating surface. Packing glands and/or stuffing boxes are not permitted and there
shall be no pistons operating the valve. All necessary repairs shall be possible without
removing the valve from the line. If the diaphragm becomes damaged the valve shall
close tight. This valve shall be a Model 100-34 (globe pattern or angle pattern) Hytrol
Valve as manufactured by Cla-Val. Newport Beach, California.
