Operation
The Watts ACV Non-Surge Check Valve is designed to control pipeline surges caused by flow reversal by slowly opening and closing at separate adjustable rates. The valve opens when upstream pressure is greater than downstream pressure. When upstream pressure is greater than downstream pressure, the Adjustable Opening Speed Control allows fluid out of the main valve cover chamber, providing a controlled rate of opening. When a pressure reversal occurs and downstream pressure becomes higher than upstream pressure, the Adjustable Closing Speed Control allows the higher downstream pressure to enter the main valve cover chamber, providing a controlled rate of closure.
NOTE: A maximum pipeline velocity of six feet-per-second is recommended when installing this type of check valve. When pipeline velocities exceed six FPS, consideration should be given to adding a Watts ACV Model M116 Pressure Relief Valve or Model M116-52 Combination Surge Anticipator and Pressure Relief Valve to the system.
Installation Guidelines
Prior to installation, flush line to remove debris.
Install valve horizontally “in line” (cover facing UP), so flow arrow matches flow through the line. Avoid
installing valves 6” and larger vertically. Consult factory prior to ordering if installation is other than described.
Install inlet and outlet isolation valves. NOTE: When using butterfly valves, insure disc does not contact control valve. Damage or improper valve seating may occur.
Provide adequate clearance for valve servicing and maintenance.
Install pressure gauges to monitor valve inlet and outlet pressure.
