Performance is standard
The design and innovative features incorporated into
every Watts Automatic Control Valve means consistent,
dependable, high performance, positive control and
long life.
Efficient design
The main valve, globe or angle pattern, is diaphragm
actuated, hydraulically operated. It consists of only four
major components. The body and cover plus interior
seat and diaphragm/stem assembly, which is the only
moving part in the main valve.
STEM NUT/WASHER
DIAPHRAGM
SPACER
QUAD SEAL
RETAINER PLATE
QUAD SEAL
STEM ASSEMBLY
Precise alignment
and stable throttling
A cover bearing and integral seat bearing guide the
stem assembly for precise alignment with the seat.
Coupled with the quad seal retainer plate, this alignment assures progressive opening/closing flows, stable
throttling, low friction operation and positive closure.

FIGURE PV20CB
DIRECT RELIEF CONTROL

SCREW
FUNCTION
- Normally closed position, opens when
pressure reaches set-point.
FEATURES
- Responsive:
- Selectable spring ranges to allow for
accurate, easy to adjust pressure setting.
- Large diaphragm area
- 1/2" and 3/4" ports.
- Large seat area.
- Ease of Maintenance
- Can be serviced without removal from
line.
- Replacement of elastomer parts is usually
maximum required servicing.
OPERATION
The PV20CB is a normally closed,
diaphragm actuated, spring loaded, direct
acting regulator. The pressure set point is
adjustable within the spring range. Upstream
pressure is sensed under the diaphragm. As
upstream pressure increases, the diaphragm
pushes against the spring. The pilot stem/
seat is pulled towards the open position,
increasing flow through the pilot. As
upstream pressure decreases under the
diaphragm, the spring pushes the stem/seat
towards the closed position restricting flow
through the pilot. This sensitive
spring/diaphragm interaction closely tacks and
responds to changes in upstream pressure.

1 - Turn the screw Clockwise (IN)
to increase the set-point you are
controlling.
2 - Turn the screw Counterclockwise

FIRE HYDRANT RELIEF VALVE
VALVE DESCRIPTION
Provides temporary relief protection to a water system
by attaching directly to a fire hydrant via 2-1/2" FNST
swivel on the inlet of the Watts 1116FH Relief Valve.
VALVE APPLICATION
In municipal & rural water systems, elevated storage
tanks provide outlets for system pressure surges.
When these elevated tanks are out of service for
inspection / repairs an overpressurization of the water
transmission lines could occur. One or more 1116FH
relief valves can easily be installed on fire hydrants
through out the system for surge protection.
VALVE FEATURES
The 1116FH Relief Valve is light-weight, compact with
high capacity. Utilizing the FNST Swivel on the valve
inlet the 1116FH can be rotated 360 degrees and
locked in any position. This allows surges to discharge
safely to an area for watering or storm drain runoff.

PROBLEM
Property damage due to relief valve discharge that can
occur due to dirt and debris within the valve
or a mechanical failure within the backflow prevention
assembly. Typical conditions which can cause continuous relief valve discharge are: dirt/debris on first check
seat of the reduced pressure backflow preventer,
clogged relief valve sensing line, relief valve diaphragm
failure, broken first check valve spring, and improper
RPZ startup procedures.

SOLUTION
Watts has developed the 113-6RFP Flood Protection Shutdown Valve. The 113-6RFP remains fully open
under normal conditions. If the RPZ relief valve should
open, excess flow through the drain pipe trips the flow
sensor which energizes the solenoid on the 113-6RFP
valve and it goes closed. Unlike a normal solenoid
valve, the 113-6RFP cannot re-open if flow stops and /
or the solenoid is de-energized. The Watts ACV solution to intermittent dumping is a time delay located in
the JB113 Junction Box between the flow sensor and
the 113-6RFP to keep the control valve solenoid from
energizing until required. A valve mounted Fig. 51 Limit
Switch is supplied which sends out a remote signal to
sound an alarm, indicating that the valve is closed. The
113-6RFP is equipped with manual reset to restore
flow after the RPZ is repaired by the building maintenance engineer or backflow technician.

ISOLATION VALVES
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
FLOAT VALVES
Installing valves over open tanks should be avoided due
to possible servicing problems.
Install stilling wells around floats to protect them from
turbulance.
Remote mounted float controls should be connected to
the main valve with 3/8" size tubing.
SOLENOID VALVES
Electrical wiring should conform to NEMA codes to
assure proper valve operation and longevity.
RATE OF FLOW VALVES
A butterfly isolation valve cannot be installed directly to
the valve inlet flange, as the disc will contact the orifice
plate. A gate or ball type valve can be used or the isolation valve can be installed further upstream.
ALTITUDE VALVES
Install the valve as close to the tank as possible, a maximum of 40 pipe diameters to assure accurate control.
A sense line is required to connect the altitude control to
the tank. To provide accurate reading of head pressure,
the line should connect at the base of the water column.
Minimum sense line size is 1/2". A shut-off valve should be
installed in this line for service and start-up.

PARALLEL INSTALLATION
If flow requirements fall outside the capacity of a single valve,
an additional smaller valve installed in parallel may be
required. In parallel installations, the larger valve handles the
requirements for maximum flow down to its low flow capacity.
The small valve extends to the sum of the maximum flow of
both valves.
1. Select the valve size combinations from SIZING CHART that
is within low to high flow system range.
2. Check Pressure Drop (inlet-outlet) to confirm desired outlet
pressure is above index psig., or check Cavitation Chart.
SERIES INSTALLATION
If pressure drop requirements cause the outlet pressure to be
below the index psig., or fall in the Cavitation Zone, then two
valves in series may be required. Each valve will function outside the cavitation zone to safely drop the high inlet pressure,
in two steps, to the desired outlet pressure. Valve size is
based upon the Minimum - Maximum flow ranges previously
explained.
VALVE SIZING
found on the vertical axis. (Your maximum differential pressure will be the highest inlet pressure minus the desired outlet pressure, this is also known as
the delta P.)
To properly size an automatic control valve you need to know the following:
Highest and Lowest inlet pressures
Outlet pressure
Maximum flow requirements
Minimum flow requirements
Step 5: From this point draw a horizontal line until you intersect with the line
corresponding to the valve size as selected in step 3.
Step 1: Utilize the high flow chart and select the flow as found on the horizontal axis which corresponds with your maximum flow requirements.
Step 6: From this point draw a vertical line down to the horizontal axis. This
will be the minimum flow capabilities of the valve based on these variables.
Step 2: From this point draw a vertical line until you intersect with the horizontal line corresponding with the minimum differential pressure. (Your minimum
differential pressure will be the lowest inlet pressure minus the desired outlet
pressure, this is also known as the delta P.)
Notes: 1) If the minimum flow capability obtained from step 6 is above your
actual minimum flow requirements, you should consider a parallel installation. Using the minimum flow capability, begin at step 1 to select the size you
will need for this low-flow by-pass.
Step 3: From this point move right to the first valve size line. This will be the
minimum valve size which should be used on intermittent flow of 25 ft./sec. If
maximum flow is continuous, then do not exceed the GPM (20 FT./sec.) listed
on the maximum continuous flow table.
Step 4: Utilize the flow chart and select the maximum differential pressure as

CAVITATION CHART
After selecting valve size, locate inlet and outlet pressures on this chart. If the intersection point falls
in the shaded area, cavitation can occur. Operation of valves continually in the cavitation zone
should be avoided. Consult Watts ACV for alternatives.
