Cla-Val Models 50-01 Pressure Relief Valve is a hydraulically operated, pilot-controlled, modulating valve designed to maintain constant upstream pressure within close limits. It is ideal for pressure relief, pressure sustaining, back pressure, or unloading functions in a by-pass system.
Pressure Sustaining Service: When installed in a line between an upper zone and a lower area of heavy demand, the valve acts to maintain desired upstream pressure to prevent “robbing” of the upper zone. Water in excess of pressure setting is allowed to flow to an area of heavy demand, control is smooth, and pressure regulation is positive.
Pressure Relief Service: This fast opening, slow-closing relief valve provides system protection against high-pressure surges on pump start-up and pump shut down by dissipating the excess pressure to a safe location.
