PRESSURE REDUCING CONTROL VALVE
with
HYDRAULIC CHECK FEATURE
The Watts ACV Combination Pressure Reducing and Check Valve is designed to automatically reduce a
fluctuating higher upstream pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure, and close drip-tight when
downstream pressure becomes greater than upstream pressure.
It is controlled by a normally open, pressure reducing pilot designed to: 1) Open (allowing fluid out of the
main valve cover chamber) when downstream pressure is below the adjustable setpoint, and 2) Close
(allowing fluid to fill the main valve cover chamber) when downstream pressure is above the adjustable
setpoint. A decrease in downstream pressure causes the valve to modulate toward an open position, raising
downstream pressure. An increase in downstream pressure causes the valve to modulate toward a closed
position, lowering downstream pressure.
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 pressure reducing
operation resumes when upstream pressure exceeds downstream pressure.
