Operation
The Watts ACV Solenoid On-Off Control Valve is designed to open fully or close drip-tight as commanded by
the 3-Way Solenoid Pilot. The Solenoid Pilot directs upstream pressure into and out of the cover chamber
of the 3-way Accelerator Pilot. When the cover of the Accelerator Pilot is pressurized, the main valve cover
chamber is vented downstream (dry drain) or to atmosphere (wet drain), causing the valve to open fully.
When the cover of the Accelerator Pilot is de-pressurized, the main valve cover chamber is connected to
upstream pressure, causing the valve to close drip tight. Valve opening and closing speeds are separately
adjustable. 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.
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
described.
• 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.
