The AMES Model 930-01 / 630-01 Solenoid On-Off Control Valve with Hydraulic Check Feature is designed
to open fully or close drip-tight as commanded by the 3-Way Solenoid Pilot, and close drip-tight when
downstream pressure becomes greater than upstream pressure. The Solenoid Pilot commands the routing
of fluid and pressure into and out of the cover chamber of the main valve. When the Solenoid Pilot connects
the cover chamber of the valve to upstream pressure, the valve closes drip tight. When the Solenoid Pilot
connects the cover chamber of the valve to downstream pressure (dry drain) or atmosphere (wet drain),
the valve opens fully. Engaging the Solenoid Manual operator simulates power to the solenoid, manually
controlling the main valve. Disengaging the Solenoid Manual operator returns the valve to electrical on-off
service.
If downstream pressure becomes greater than upstream pressure, downstream pressure is admitted to
the main valve cover chamber, closing the valve and preventing reversal of flow. Normal On-Off operation
resumes when upstream pressure exceeds downstream pressure.
Specify voltage and MAIN VALVE actuation (energize to open or close), and “wet” or “dry” drain
PRIOR to ordering.
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 de-
scribed.
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.
Provide adequate drain for cover chamber discharge if “wet drain” option is selected. Consult “Valve
Cover Capacity” chart on appropriate main valve Engineering Bulletin.
Connect Solenoid Pilot to appropriate power source in compliance with local electrical codes.
