THE MORE YOU KNOW ABOUT AUTOMATIC CONTROL VALVES

THE BETTER WATTS ACV LOOKS!

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.

Variable volume cover chamber

STEM
DIAPHRAGM
WASHER

STEM NUT/WASHER

DIAPHRAGM

SPACER

QUAD SEAL RETAINER

QUAD SEAL
RETAINER PLATE

QUAD SEAL

STEM ASSEMBLY

A synthetic rubber/nylon diaphragm, of FDA approved

materials, is assembled between the valve body and
cover. This creates a sealed chamber into which line
fluid and pressure is introduced. Varying the amount of
pressure accurately positions the stem assembly to
open, close or modulate the valve as required.

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.

Drip tight seal

Watts ACV leads the automatic valve industry by being
the first to incorporate the dynamic quad seal. The seat,
retained on 3 1/2+ sides, provides positive closure
while eliminating the need to bite into the seal, adding
years to the valves life. Each quad seal has two usable
sides.

Fused epoxy prolongs life

This coating is applied under rigorous preparation and
application standards. It is non-porous, improving the
flow coefficiency of the valve and effectively sealing the
casting from interaction with the controlled liquid. The
coating also protects the valve from environmental
attack. The finish prevents mineral buildup and rust (a
major factor in control valve failure), simplifies maintenance, and prolongs the life of the valve.

Multiple function performance

ACV 115
PRESSURE REDUCING

ACV 116
PRESSURE RELIEF/SUSTAINING

By varying the control/piping arrangement, the Watts

ACV is able to perform a diversity of functions and
applications. Multiple functions performed by a single
valve can result in added system protection and lower
cost to the user.

Simplified Maintenance
The main valve and pilot system can be serviced without removing the valve from the line.

Right valve, Right place, Right time

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.

The valve remains open as the integral accumulator is charged and
then closes. This prevents possible excess system drainage should
pressure not return to/above the low pressure setting. It is also
equipped with a high pressure control pilot which allows for high
pressure relief service.

FIRE HYDRANT RELIEF VALVE

1116FH
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.

FS 99

Air Gap

Floor Drain

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.

ENGINEERING DATA / SIZING

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
AND REQUIREMENTS
VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS
Avoid mounting valves 6" and larger in a vertical discharge
position (valve stem horizontal or cover pointed sideways). If
your installation requires this mounting position consult the
factory or specify at time of order.

ISOLATION SHUT-OFF VALVES

Butterfly or similar type valves should be installed in the line
upstream and downstream of the automatic control valve to
allow for maintenance service. Installing isolation valves will
allow you to perform maintenance service without draining the
system or exposing service personnel to line pressures.

VALVE SIZING PRESSURE REDUCING

Selection of the correct size pressure reducing valve is a relatively simple process. Criteria for selection is minimum flow,
normal flow, maximum flow and pressure drop across the
valve. Following are explanations of the three types of PRV
installations. These also apply to any functions combined with
the reducing function, such as reducing/check and reducing/solenoid valves.

SINGLE VALVE INSTALLATION

A single reducing valve can be applied if operating flow,
requirements are within the capacity of one size valve, and
pressure drop is outside the Cavitation Zone.
1. Select the valve size from SIZING CHART that is within the
range of low to high flow. (Consider requirements of lowest
demand equipment.)
2. Check Pressure Drop (inlet-outlet) to insure that desired outlet pressure is above the recommended lowest outlet setting
to avoid cavitation conditions. (Check Cavitation Chart page 21.)

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.
30

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.

2) Use the cavitation chart and determine if the intersection of the

inlet and outlet pressures falls in the shaded area. If so, you should consider a
series installation. Both valves should be sized in accordance with the above
steps.

Step 4: Utilize the flow chart and select the maximum differential pressure as

PRESSURE DROP INDEX - PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES

Calculate the pressure difference by subtracting the desired outlet pressure from the maximum inlet
pressure. Find the number on the pressure difference line and note the outlet pressure index number. This is the lowest outlet pressure setting allowed without failing into the cavitation zone. Design
of the WATTS Automatic Control Valve minimizes potential valve damage that can be caused by
cavitation. Avoid continued operation within the cavitation zone.
