Description
The SV-series valve is a normally closed valve that 
opens when current is supplied from the battery 
through a magnetic switch. Temperature, level, or 
pressure SWICHGAGE®instruments installed on 
the engine and pump or compressor, trip the magnetic switch, breaking the circuit from the battery 
which closes the valve and stops the engine.
The SV-12 valve operates on 12VDC, has a 1/4 NPT 
inlet and outlet, and a full 3/16 in. (5 mm) orifice. 
24 VDC (SV-24) is optional The SV valves open 
against 30 psi. (207 kPa) [2.07 bar] inlet pressure.
Greater Flow Rate Valve
Special series SV valve is available with a 1/4 in. 
(6 mm) orifice which opens against maximum 
pressure of 15 psi (103 kPa) [1.03 bar]. This 
valve is recommended where greater flow is 
required, and only static head or low transfer 
pump pressures are encountered.
High Pressure Valves
SV-HP series valves open against diesel fuel 
transfer pump pressure up to 60 psi (414 kPa) 
[4.14 bar]. Models are available for 12 or 24 volt 
DC systems. The orifice is 1/4 in. (6 mm), using 
the same inlet/outlet and options as standard SV.

Things You Should Know 
About SV-Series Valves
The SV-Series fuel shutoff valve is intended for use 
with diesel engines having externally accessible fuel 
injection pumps. The volume of fuel required for the 
engine to operate must be able to pass through the 
3/16 in. (5 mm) or 1/4 in. (6 mm) orifice of the valve. 
You must be able to attach the fuel valve directly onto 
or in close proximity to the fuel injection pump in 
order to close off fuel flow to the pump. 
SV-series is NOT intended for use with engines hav- 
ing “unit” injectors or distributor type injection 
pumps. Use only with diesel.
Installation and Service 
Suggestions
1. Make sure the valve is the same voltage as the bat-
tery. Under continuous duty, the coil will normally be hot, however, incorrect voltage can cause 
smoking and burned coils.
2. The valve will not operate if the flow arrow on
the side of the valve does not indicate the correct 
direction of flow.
3. Do not apply pipe dope to female valve threads.
Dope inside the valve will foul the seat and prevent proper seal.
4. Install the valve as close as possible to the injec-
tion pump.
Troubleshooting the 
SV-Series Valves
Check Control Circuit: To determine if the electrical system is energizing the solenoid, listen for a 
metallic click signifying the solenoid is operating. 
Absence of the click indicates loss of power supply. 
Check for blown or loose fuses, for an open circuit 
or a grounded coil, for broken lead wires or open 
splice connections.
Coil Burnout: Check for open-circuit coil. Replace 
coil if necessary.
High or Low Voltage: Check voltage across the 
coil with a voltmeter. Voltage must be in 85% to 
110% of nameplate rating.
Incorrect Pressure: Check fuel line pressure. 
Pressure on the valve must be within the specific 
range of the SV in use.
Fuel Leak Through Valve: Disassemble the valve 
and clean parts. Replace any parts that are worn or 
damaged (see other side for repair parts).
Slow Shutdown: Due to the internal fuel capacity 
of some injection pumps, engine shutdown will not 
occur until that fuel is used up.
Note: If engine continues to run after the valve 
closes, install a check valve such as CKV2336 in 
return line.
Auxiliary Fuel Valves
Fuel Return Line Check Valve
The CKV series is an in-line, one-way valve for the 
prevention of fuel siphoning from the diesel return 
line by an injection pump. In engine shutdown systems using a Murphy SV valve, the CKV is necessary 
to ensure a rapid shut down of the engine by fuel starvation of the injection system. For details see bulletin 
CKV-7867B.
Fuel Line Pressure Relief Valve
The PRV50 is an in-line, one-way valve for the prevention of overpressure damage to fuel filters and 
their housings. This pressure relief valve operates in 
conjunction with a Murphy SV series shutdown 
valve; after the SV closes, a rapid high pressure 
build-up caused by the fuel pump can occur. The 
PRV, mounted in a fuel return line after the filter, 
will open to relieve pressure buildup.
