* DN125 and DN350 use the same internals as DN100 and DN300 respectively.

* DN450 and DN700 use the same internals as DN400 and DN600 respectively.

* AISI 304 is the factory standard stainless steel grade; consult the factory for AISI 316.

Typical applications

  • Pump discharge surge protection

  • Long rising mains
  • Water supply booster stations

Coatings

Fusion bonded epoxy

Approvals

ISO 9001

Features

  • The A76D double-chamber pump control valve provides active surge protection on both pump start and pump stop
  • On pump start, the valve opens in a controlled two-stage sequence to prevent startup surge
  • On pump stop, it closes slowly to arrest the decelerating water column before the pump reverses
  • The dual-chamber design provides greater control authority and damping than single-chamber valves
  • A76D is a double-chamber pump control valve series which minimises headloss because the valve can be fully open during normal operation
  • Simple, reliable and easy to install and maintain
  • Nylon-reinforced diaphragm for long service life
  • Stainless steel seat to avoid corrosion
  • Guided stem movement for reliable performance
  • Fusion-bonded epoxy coating for rust prevention

Description

The A76D is a pump control configuration of the A900 main valve body with a double-chamber actuator. The dual-chamber design provides independent hydraulic control of opening and closing rates, allowing the valve to open slowly on pump start to limit inrush and close in a controlled deceleration profile on pump stop to prevent surge. Needle valves in each chamber circuit allow both rates to be set independently in the field to match the specific pump and pipeline hydraulics.

Selection notes

This control valve is supplied for flanged installation.

Sizes run DN50 to DN800, in PN10, PN16, PN25, Class 125, Class 150.

The body is EN-GJS-500-7.

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

Stated service media include clean water and treated water.

It is catalogued for Water & Wastewater.

Working temperature is 10°C to 80°C.

Built to EN 1074-5, BS EN 1074-5, EN 558-1, EN 12266-1 and EN 1092-2.

Supplier remarks

  • Two internal check options are selectable: Option 1, quick close 100%; Option 2, blocks 90% of the flow area quickly then closes slowly through the last 10% of stroke (DN50-DN150 is slow-closing only). PLC/solenoid sequence: the 4-2 solenoid actuates the 7-2 accelerator to connect the upper chamber to the valve outlet; the 4-1 solenoid actuates the 7-1 accelerator to fill the middle chamber and push the diaphragm to the top position; the PLC can set a delay timer on solenoid actuation to avoid water hammer. Fail-safe: if electricity is lost, the valve performs as a check valve to prevent backflow. The A76D includes two 3-way latching solenoid valves. Standards stated: BS EN1074-5, EN12266-1, EN558-1, EN1092-2. Head Loss Curve (A900 Headloss chart, DN50-DN800) is stated as a curve, not tabulated points, so not reproduced here.
  • This model uses its own dedicated body (three size-specific parts lists in the source: A90D-Main Valve DN50-150, A70D Main Valve DN200-350, A70D Main Valve DN400-800), not the standard A900 body.

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.
