Features

  • The A500 operates as a pressure sustaining valve, holding a minimum upstream pressure to ensure adequate supply pressure is maintained at all times
  • It can equally function as a pressure relief valve, opening to discharge excess pressure when upstream pressure exceeds a set limit
  • Commonly installed at pump stations, reservoir outlets and district meter areas
  • Top and seat ring guided stem and diaphragm assembly for long life and reliability
  • All iron components are fusion epoxy bonded for corrosion resistance
  • Easy maintenance without removal from the main line
  • Nylon reinforced diaphragm for long-term service
  • Drip-tight shut-off
  • Globe design for superior control characteristics
  • Ductile iron bodies for higher strength and durability
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel seat and disc retainer ring
  • Various pilots and accessories available for configuration into many different applications
  • Special V-Port and double chamber are options, consult factory

Description

The A500 is a pressure sustaining and relief configuration of the A900 main valve body, fitted with a P500 pilot. When upstream pressure is above the sustaining set point the pilot holds the main valve closed to protect upstream supply; when pressure exceeds the relief set point the pilot opens the valve to discharge excess pressure. Used at pump stations and reservoir outlets to prevent both under-pressure collapse and over-pressure damage. The A900 body can be repiloted in the field without body replacement.

Selection notes

This control valve is supplied for flanged installation.

Sizes run DN50 to DN800, in PN10, PN16, PN25.

The body is EN-GJS-500-7.

Seat and trim options are AISI 304 and 316. The seat, not the body, usually sets the temperature and medium limit, so confirm it against the service before ordering.

Stated service media include water.

It is catalogued for Water & Wastewater.

Working temperature is -10°C to 80°C.

Built to EN 1074-5, BS EN 1074-5, BS EN 558-1, ISO 5208 and BS EN 12266-1.

Supplier remarks

  • Source states the dual-mode mechanism precisely: Relief - whenever system pressure exceeds the pilot preset it opens immediately to release excess pressure; Sustaining - prevents upstream (mainline) pressure dropping below the preset. Assembly diagram names: Main Valve, Needle Valve, P500, Ball Valve, Inlet Pressure Gauge (optional), Strainer. Head Loss Curve and Cavitation chart are stated as curves, not tabulated points, so not reproduced here.

A900 configurations

View full A900 system →
This product is part of the A900 modular system. All configurations share the same hydraulically operated body: the control function is set by the pilot valve(s) attached. An existing A900 body in the field can be reconfigured for a different duty simply by swapping the pilot, without replacing the body.
