Valves & Actuation

Series RVDT In-Line Pressure Relief Valves feature a wetted flat PTFE diaphragm to resist both chemical attack and salt crystallization problems. A large, active diaphragm area provides for smooth, chatter-free operation. Relief setting is infinitely adjustable from 5 PSI to 100 PSI. This design functions as a relief valve, by-pass valve, back-pressure valve and anti-siphon valve. The Relief Function protects systems and equipment from over-pressure and pressure surges. The By-Pass Function prevents pumps from “dead-heading”. The Back- Pressure Function maintains necessary reverse pressure in closed-loop systems. The Anti- Siphon Function prevents unwanted chemical siphoning, if city water pressure drops to zero, and changes in elevation create negative pressure. Series RVDT relief valves are constructed of Type 1, Grade 1 PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, PTFE or PVDF Kynar® body materials. The wetted diaphragm is PTFE, energized by a non-wetted Viton® diaphragm. Springs (not in wetted area) are zinc-plated steel, fasteners are stainless steel and the adjusting screw is polyethylene. 

Series RVT is an angle pattern design featuring a non-sticking Teflon® shaft passing through three U-cup seals. Venting between the upper and center U-cups results in Plast-O-Matic’s patented Fail-Dry® design for added protection. In the meantime the third seal continues to protect the control spring. The RVT design starts with 1/2" pipe size and runs through 2". Set pressures from 5 to 100 PSI. Once the relief valve is set, the valve will remain closed as long as the tank or line pressure does not reach the set pressure. The valve will begin to relieve when the set pressure is reached and will require an overpressure of approximately 40% to fully open. When the pressure falls below the set pressure, the valve will again close. Series RVT relief valves are constructed of Type 1, Grade 1 PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, Teflon® or PVDF with solid Teflon® shaft. U-cup seals are EPDM or Viton®. The adjusting bolt, lock nut, control spring and fasteners are cadmium-plated steel. Stainless steel is available as an option.
