LFM513-5 Large
Dual Chamber Well Pump Control Valve with Mechanical Check, For 20 and 24 IN
Series LFM513-5 Large, Pump Control Valve is designed to minimize the surges associated with the starting and stopping of pumps. The valve opens at an adjustable rate upon pump start-up and closes at an adjustable rate upon pump shut-off. When the valve is near closed a limit switch is tripped, turning the pump off. The pump starts and stops against a closed valve and has provisions for manual operation in the event of power outages. The valve also incorporates a two-piece telescoping stem design, which acts as a mechanical check feature, that closes preventing reverse flow the moment flow ceases.
Large Diameter Automatic Control valves expand the Watts / Ames portfolio to include large valves for Municipal and other large water distribution systems.
