FD300
Altitude control valve
Product specification sheet
Application
Altitude control valve of this type controls the water level in, for
example, water reservoirs without the need for using a float valve
or other ancillary controls.
The highly sensitive pilot valve and the main valve are installed
outside the water reservoir and the pilot valve senses the hydrostatic water pressure from the water level in the reservoir.
The main valve closes when the maximum set pressure for the
pilot valve is reached and reopens when the water level corresponds to the lower set value on the pilot valve.
The standard version permits filling of a water storage unit. A
special version is also available on request which can be used for
both filling and emptying water storage units.
Range of Application
Medium Water
Operating pressure Max. 16 bar
Setting range 0.5 - 5 m water head (Standard version)
Construction
The filling valve comprises:
• Housing with PN16 flanges per ISO7005-2, EN1092-2
• Two-way pilot valve
• Control circuit with ball valves on inlet and outlet
• Control circuit with integral rinsable filter insert
Materials
• Ductile iron housing, cover plate and diaphragm plate
(ISO 1083), powder coated
• Red bronze/stainless steel regulating cone
• Stainless steel pressure spring and control rod
• Fibre-reinforced NBR diaphragm
• NBR and EPDM seals
• Stainless steel valve seat
• High quality synthetic material control circuits
• Brass compression fittings
• Brass pilot valve housing

FD300 Altitude control valve
Method of Operation
At zero pressure the valve is closed. When the system is then put
into operation, the water flows in and opens the diaphragm valve.
This fills the reservoir until the water head corresponding to the
set hydrostatic pressure on the pilot valve is reached and it then
closes. If the pilot valve is closed, the pressure in the chamber
above the membrane rises. The membrane surface area is larger
than the valve surface area and therefore the diaphragm valve
closes. If water is drawn from the water store, the hydrostatic
pressure falls until it reaches the lower set pressure and the pilot
valve then opens. In this way the pilot valve controls the opening
and closing of the main valve.

Installation Example
FD300 Altitude control valve
Installation Guidelines
• Install shutoff valves on both sides of the pressure sustaining
valves
• Install strainer upstream of filling valve
o Protects against damage from coarse dirt
• Note flow direction (indicated by arrow)
• Ensure good access
o Simplifies maintenance and inspection
• The main valve must be installed below the maximum water
level of the water storage facility being filled
• The pilot valve must be at least 2 m below the lowest stored
water level and not more than 50 m below the highest water
level
• Install connectors for removal and refitting for maintenance
