APEX ‘BIG BOY’ DIAPHRAGM VALVE

Description

• APEX ‘BIG BOY’ DIAPHRAGM VALVE

Application

• Pump fed large storage tanks and /or reservoirs – it allows for single or variable minimum and maximum levels within the reservoir/tank.
• Suitable for gravity fed large tanks
• Rain harvesting – as a backup water supply control valve

Features

• High volume inlet control valve
• Variable adjustment minimum and maximum water levels. Saves electricity by reducing pump run time and at the same time increases pump life
• Can be adjusted for use as a top up rain harvesting valve (by clipping the weights together)
• Long tail for installation into thin wall tanks
• Soft closing action – eliminates water hammer
• Diaphragm activated – Full flow valve
• Working pressure: 15 KPa – 1200 KPa (2 PSI – 175 PSI)
• Sizes: 32, 40 & 50 mm (1¼”, 1½” & 2”)
• Flow rates: see graph below
• Temperature range: 1ºC – 60ºC
• • Full on, full off
  • Enormous flow rate 1500 L/min at 1200 kPa
  • Extremely high volume water inlet control device.
  • Long tail, no tank fittings (thin walled tanks)
  • No float switches, no power required (pump requires pressure switch)
  • Less parts = Less problems
  • Patented self cleaning mechanism to minimise blockages.
