Speciﬁcations

The Pump Control Valve shall be a pilot operated diaphragm valve designed to minimize the surges associated with the starting and stopping of pumps. The valve shall be designed to open at an adjustable rate upon pump start-up, and close at an adjustable rate upon pump shut-off. When the valve is near closed the limit switch shall be tripped, turning the pump off. The pump shall start and stop against a closed valve. The valve shall have provisions for manual operation in the event of power outage. Solenoid voltage shall be _________ and enclosure shall be NEMA 4 General Purpose.

The main valve shall be a hydraulically operated, single diaphragm actuated, globe or angle pattern valve. Y-pattern valves shall not be permitted. The valve shall contain a disc and diaphragm assembly that forms a sealed chamber below the valve cover, separating operating pressure from line pressure. The diaphragm shall be constructed of nylon reinforced Buna-N, and shall not seal directly against the valve seat and shall be fully supported by the valve body and cover. Rolling diaphragm construction will not be allowed and there shall be no pistons operating the main valve or any pilot controls.

The main valve body and cover shall be Ductile Iron ASTM A536, and all internal cast components shall be Ductile Iron or CF8M (316) Stainless Steel. All Ductile Iron components, including the body and cover, shall be lined and coated with an NSF 61 Certiﬁed Epoxy Coating applied by the electrostatic heat fusion process. All main valve throttling components (valve seat and disc guide) shall be Stainless Steel. The valve body and cover must be machined with a 360-degree locating lip to assure proper alignment.

The disc and diaphragm assembly shall contain a Buna-N synthetic rubber “Quad Seal” that is securely retained on 3-1/2 sides by a disc retainer and disc guide. Diaphragm assemblies utilizing bolts or cap screws for component retention will not be permitted.

The exposed portion of the Quad Seal shall contact the valve seat and seal drip-tight. The disc and diaphragm assembly must be guided by two separate bearings, one installed in the valve cover and one concentrically located within the valve seat, to avoid deﬂection and assure positive disc-to-seat contact. Center guided valves will not be permitted. All necessary repairs shall be made from the top of the valve while the body remains in line.

The pilot control system shall contain a 3-Way Solenoid Pilot with screw type Manual Operator, Single Limit Switch, 3-Way Accelerator Pilot, separate Adjustable Opening and Closing Speed Controls, (2) Check Valves, an external Y-Strainer and Isolation Ball Valves on all body connections. The pilot control system shall utilize copper tubing and brass ﬁttings.

The valve shall be Watts ACV Model F113-21 (Globe) or F1113-21 (Angle) Pump Control Valve.
