Full Port Stainless Steel
Dual Chamber Basic Valve with
Mechanical Check Feature
The Watts ACV Models S518 and S1518 are full port, dual
chamber basic valves that incorporate a two-piece telescoping
disc and diaphragm assembly. This assembly is the only moving
part within the valve, allowing it to open or close as commanded
by the pilot control system. The lower portion of this two-piece
assembly is a mechanical check feature, which acts indepen-
dent of diaphragm position or pilot control system, and provides
immediate check action when flow ceases.
When pressure is applied to the upper diaphragm chamber and
released from the lower diaphragm chamber, the valve travels
to a closed position. When pressure is applied to the lower dia-
phragm chamber and released from the upper diaphragm cham-
ber the valve travels to a full open position.
The Stainless Steel design offers superior corrosion resistance,
as well as a lightweight alternative to conventional heavy iron
valves. Stainless Steel construction reduces corrosion, reducing
diaphragm wear and the frequency and labor costs associated
with traditional maintenance repairs.
