S500 / S1500
Full Port Stainless Steel
Dual Chamber Basic Valve
The Watts ACV Models S500 and S1500 are full port, dual
chamber basic valves that incorporate a one-piece disc and diaphragm assembly. This assembly is the only moving part within
the valve, allowing it to open or close as commanded by the
pilot control system.
When pressure is applied to the upper diaphragm chamber and
released from the lower diaphragm chamber, the valve travels
to a closed position. When pressure is applied to the lower
diaphragm chamber and released from the upper diaphragm
chamber the valve travels to a full open position. When pressure
is balanced between the upper and lower diaphragm chambers,
the valve will hold an intermediate position until commanded to
modulate open or closed by the pilot control system.
The Stainless Steel design offers superior corrosion resistance,
as well as a lightweight alternative to conventional heavy iron
valves. Stainless Steel construction reduces corrosion, reducing
diaphragm wear and the frequency and labor costs associated
with traditional maintenance repairs.

Maximum continuous flow based on velocity of 20 ft. per second.
Maximum intermittent flow based on velocity of 25 ft. per second.
The Cv Factor of a value is the flow rate in US GPM at 60°F that will cause a 1psi drop in pressure.
The factors stated are based upon a fully open valve.
Cv factor can be used in the following equations to determine Flow (Q) and Pressure Drop (∆P):
Q (Flow) = Cv√∆P ∆P (Pressure Drop) = (Q/Cv)
