Operations
The Watts ACV Combination Pressure Reducing and Check Valve is designed to automatically reduce a
uctuating higher upstream pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure, and close drip-tight when
downstream pressure becomes greater than upstream pressure.
It is controlled by a normally open, pressure reducing pilot designed to: 1) Open (allowing uid out of the
main valve cover chamber) when downstream pressure is below the adjustable setpoint, and 2) Close
(allowing uid to ll the main valve cover chamber) when downstream pressure is above the adjustable
setpoint. A decrease in downstream pressure causes the valve to modulate toward an open position, raising
downstream pressure. An increase in downstream pressure causes the valve to modulate toward a closed
position, lowering downstream pressure.
If downstream pressure becomes greater than upstream pressure, downstream pressure is admitted to the
main valve cover chamber, closing the valve and preventing reversal of ow. Normal pressure reducing
operation resumes when upstream pressure exceeds downstream pressure.

Cavitation Chart
After selecting the valve size, locate inlet and outlet pressures on this chart. If the intersection point falls
in the shaded area, cavitation can occur. Operation of valves continually in the cavitation zone should be
avoided. Consult Watts ACV for alternatives.
