Schematics
Throttles to reduce high upstream pressure to •
constant lower downstream pressure
Closes quickly when downstream pressure •
exceeds reduced pressure setpoint
Ideal for use when high capacity on-off equipment is •
installed downstream
Reducing and Surge Control setpoints are separately •
adjustable

Operations
The Watts ACV Combination Pressure Reducing and Surge Control Valve is designed to automatically
reduce a fluctuating higher upstream pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure, and will quickly
modulate toward a closed position if downstream pressure suddenly becomes greater than the desired
regulated setpoint. The quick closing action prevents possible damaging high inlet pressure from passing
through the valve to downstream piping. Normal regulating action 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 suddenly becomes greater than the desired regulated setpoint, the normally closed
surge control pilot opens and rapidly admits higher inlet pressure into the valve cover, increasing rate of
valve closure. Normal pressure reducing operation resumes when downstream pressure decreases below
the desired regulated setpoint.
