AquaMatic® V42 Series Product Specifications

Solenoid Operated Valves
AquaMatic® brand diaphragm valves are equipped with a three-way solenoid for direct
or remote control. The solenoid can be actuated by a timer, pressure or temperature
sensor or liquid-level switch. These valves are ideal for automated process systems.

■ Features and Options

■ Lowest Pressure Loss........................The unique AquaMatic® Y-pattern diaphragm valve design, with
large seat opening and high lift disc permits higher flow rates at
lower pressure loss than other comparable valves.
■ Cost-Effective Design.........................The AquaMatic® valve is a cost-effective solution in initial
purchase price as well as in lifetime maintenance. All components
can be serviced while the valve is in-line.
■ Durable................................................The AquaMatic® valve features cast iron, brass, stainless steel,
and nitrile elastomer components. The valve features an average
life of three years or longer depending upon cycling rate and
environment.
■ Pipe Sizes............................................3/4-inch through 3-inch threaded (N.P.T. or B.S.P.); 3-inch through
4-inch flanged drilled in accordance with ASA16.1 class 125,
or BSP4504.
■ Design/Application Engineering Service ■ Optional Spring Assist
■ Adaptable to Wide Variety of Control Devices ■ Optional All Stainless Internals
■ Optional Adjustable Flow Rate Control

Options
■ Spring assist closed, spring assist open, limit stop, optional seal and diaphragm materials for special
application, stainless steel internal parts.

■ Operating Specifications
■ Working Pressure ...............................125 PSI (8.6 bars)
■ Maximum Temperature......................150°F (65°C)

■ Typical Applications
In addition to the water treatment process systems, the valves are used in wide variety of applications.
Some of the typical applications are:
■ Concrete Additive ■ Fuel Handling ■ Process Water ■ Air Control Systems
■ Agricultural Irrigation ■ Cooling Towers Systems ■ Dust Suppression
■ Turf Irrigation ■ Level Control Systems ■ Laundry Equipment
■ Pump Controls ■ Car Wash Systems ■ Conveyor Systems

■ Valve Operation
The AquaMatic® diaphragm valve is a normally open valve, controlled by a 3-way universal solenoid,
supplied as a complete assembly.
Three basic models are available: energized to open, energized to close and independent control
pressure. Principle of operation for the three models are:
■ Energized to Open..............................Line pressure is directed through the solenoid to the upper
diaphragm chamber, closing the valve. Activating the solenoid,
vents the upper diaphragm chamber allowing the valve to open.
■ Energized to Close..............................Line pressure is directed through the solenoid to upper diaphragm
chamber, closing the valve. Deactivating the solenoid vents the
upper diaphragm chamber allowing the valve to open.
■ Independent Control Pressure ...........An independent source of pressure is used, through the solenoid,
to control the diaphragm valve.
