Operations
The Watts ACV Pressure Reducing Control Valve is designed to automatically reduce a fluctuating higher
upstream pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure regardless of varying flow rates. It is con-
trolled 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 pres-
sure. An increase in downstream pressure causes the valve to modulate toward a closed position, lowering
downstream pressure.
