700 ES Series

Basic Valve
The basic Model 700 / 705 ES diaphragm actuated valves are
hydraulically operated globe valves in the standard oblique (Y) design.
700 ES – Anti-cavitation valves, designed to operate under difficult
conditions while ensuring minimum cavitation damage and noise.
Each valve comprises two major components:
The body seat assembly and the actuator assembly.
The actuator assembly is unitized and is removable from the body
as an integral unit. It consists of both an upper and a lower control
chamber.
Each basic valve can easily be configured on-site, either as a
single chamber control valve (Model 705 ES), or a double chamber
control valve (Model 700 ES). The shaft sub-assembly, in both
single and double chambered versions, is center guided, providing
an unobstructed seat area.
The Model 700 ES Basic double chambered valve operation is
independent of valve differential pressure since the line pressure
actually serves as the actuator differential pressure.
This develops maximum power, ensuring immediate valve
Diaphragm Actuated Valve response. The upper control chamber is pressurized to close,
and vented to open the valve. The lower control chamber is usually
vented to the atmosphere, but can also be pressurized
to power the valve open.
The Model 705 ES Basic Valve uses valve differential pressure to
power the actuator open or closed. The lower control chamber,
which serves to cushion the closing of the valve, is exposed to
downstream pressure through a fixed orifice connected to the
downstream side of the valve. The pressure in the upper control
chamber varies, usually resulting from the combined action of a
regulating pilot and a fixed orifice. This varying pressure modulates
the valve to open or close.
The Basic Hydraulic Valve is available in a wide range of materials,
sizes, pressure ratings, and end connections. Single or double
chambered versions are used as the main valve in all 700 ES
Series applications.

Product Features 700 ES Series

[1] Double-Chambered Actuator

n Actuator assembly can be removed as one integral unit

n Simple on-site conversion to single-chambered

n Same valve body accepts both actuators (Diaphragm and Piston)

[2] Diaphragm Assembly

The flexible, unshaped, nylon-reinforced diaphragm is supported over the majority of its surface.
Diaphragm load is limited to only the stretching forces applied to the active area.
[3] Cover Plug
Enables on-site retrofit of:

n Indicator [4A]: For visual valve position indication

n Limit Switch: For signaling valve position

n Position Transmitter: For analog transmission of valve position

[4] Inherent Separation Partition

The inherent separation includes the bearing [5A], which provides complete central guiding for the valve moving
assembly. The separation partition separates the lower control chamber from the flow in both the single-chambered,
and the double-chambered configurations.
[5] Spring
Required for single-chambered configurations. Superfluous for double-chambered configurations
(unless check feature is required).
[6] Seal Disc Assembly
Self-aligning, seal disk assembly provides balanced, free movement and a resilient seal for perfect, drip-tight sealing.
It enables using several variations of seals and plugs for a wide range of applications and working conditions.
[7] Seat
Stainless steel, raised, replaceable in-line and on-site.
[8] Wide Body (“Y” pattern)
Hydro-dynamically designed for efficient flow with minimal pressure loss and excellent resistance to cavitation.
Full bore, valve port area clear of obstructions; no ribs or stem guides. Increases capacity by 25% over standard
globe valves.
[9] End Connections
Conforms to pressure ratings and standards of: ISO, 7005-2 (ISO 10, 16 and 25).

Valve Plug Options

Flat Disc
“Quick opening plug”: Standard plug provides high flow and quick response.

Throttling Plug
A throttling plug is used in order to provide more accurate, stable and smooth
response for pressure and flow regulation while reducing noise and vibration.
