M6518 / M61518

Reduced Port Ductile Iron Dual Chamber Basic Valve with Mechanical Check Feature
The Watts ACV Models M6518 and M61518 are reduced port, dual chamber basic valves that incorporate a two-piece telescoping disc and diaphragm assembly. This assembly is the only moving part within the valve, allowing it to open or close as commanded by the pilot control system. The lower portion of this two-piece assembly is a mechanical check feature, which acts independent of diaphragm position or pilot control system, and provides immediate check action when flow ceases. When pressure is applied to the upper diaphragm chamber and released from the lower diaphragm chamber, the valve travels to a closed position. When pressure is applied to the lower diaphragm chamber and released from the upper diaphragm chamber the valve travels to a full open position.

Estimated
Maximum continuous flow based on velocity of 20 ft. per second. Maximum intermittent flow based on velocity of 25 ft. per second. The Cv Factor of a value is the flow rate in US GPM at 60F that will cause a 1psi drop in pressure. The factors stated are based upon a fully open valve. Cv factor can be used in the following equations to determine Flow (Q) and Pressure Drop (P): Q (Flow) = CvP P (Pressure Drop) = (Q/Cv)2
