General Information
Liquid Controls V-7 Valves are designed for a wide range
of applications and flow rates and have minimum
pressure loss. Careful engineering and construction
ensure smooth, accurate, and controlled operation.
The V-7 Series mechanically actuated piston valves are
available in 1½” and 2” sizes, and are designed for
mounting on the meter outlet to provide tight shut-off with
smooth and easy operation regardless of system line
pressure. The valves may be manually operated or
connected via a mechanical linkage to a preset counter
on the meter for singe-stage closure (for low flow
applications) or two-stage closure with dwell period to
eliminate hydraulic shock. The valves are indexible in
90º increments for up, down, or side facing outlet.
V-7 Series valves offer the important advantage of a
pressure-balanced dashpot design that ensures precise
valve response and soft closure at shut-off. Operation is
smooth and easy regardless of the line pressure since
the vector forces are directed at right angles to the valve
opening mechanism and are never in opposition to it.
Depending on the preset, the
valve may be operated as either
a two-stage valve with dwell
period shut-off or as a single-
stage valve with abrupt shut-off.
Single stage valves are
recommended when the
application flow rates are low.
