Operation

Flow enters the unit and makes a right angle to the outlet port across the nose of a magnetic piston. The piston is held in place by attraction to an adjusting screw magnet. A pressure differential is created by flow across the piston. When the differential is great enough, the piston slides to a seat at the outlet port. The flow rate at which the piston actuates can be changed externally by turning the adjusting screw, thereby changing the piston's relationship with the flow stream.

The piston makes a bubble tight seal when it comes in contact with the seat. To reopen the unit, turn the balancing valve handle on the side. This ports the upstream pipeline to the downstream pipeline. When the pressure is equalized on each side of the piston, it will reset. The unit is returned to normal operation by closing the balancing valve.

Temperature Operating Range: 32° to 220° F (0° to 104° C).
Installation: The 125, 250 and 375 series can be mounted in any position. The 500 and 750 series can be mounted in any position except with the outlet port down. We suggest the unit be calibrated in the attitude in which it will be installed. An actuation point approximately 3 or 4 times normal flow rate should be chosen to avoid the valve actuating from initial pressurization of the system and normal surges. If flow is kept constant, an actuation point 10% above the normal rate may be used.
