Innovative Automatic

Control Valves

Hydraulic control valves


for water works & irrigation
Ooval valves are self-acting, pilot operated
diaphragm control valve that provides remarkable
benefits and unparalleled value in both basic
on/off operations and sophisticated functions,
controlling pressures, levels and flows.

The valves are hydraulically operated automatic valve that


combines the simplicity and reliability of a diaphragm valve
with the control capabilities of a pilot operated, self-acting
regulator. The unique design of the valve optimizes both flow
capacity and control. The revolutionary body design provides
a streamlined flow path and incorporates the multi-functional
oval diaphragm in an efficient hydrodynamic design. This
design provides superior resistance to cavitation and erosion
and insures smooth flow without turbulence or noise.

One basic valve…


At the heart of the valve lies the unique oval diaphragm, which
is capable of opening and closing at 0.4 bar, as well as normal
operation up to 16 bar. The valve’s incomparable versatility
offers pressure reduction over a wide range of flows. Other
valves have limitations and require special accessories or different
diaphragms to achieve optimum results. Ooval valve’s greater
range of flows overcomes these restrictions, providing immediate
solutions for general water supply and irrigation.

Valves are used in water works,


agricultural, landscape, industrial, mining
and wastewater applications.

Dependable Control
Design based on simplicity. Engineered to perform under the most demanding
conditions. Each valve assures a controlled close, which minimizes water hammer and
absorbs the pressure shock caused by system shut-off.

High Efficiency – Low Head Loss


The flow path is wide and clear of obstructions for superior hydraulic performance
and lower pressure loss.
Open Mode
Pressure Reduction Over A Wide Flow Range
Ooval valves are capable of reducing pressures at extremely low flow rates as well
as high flow rates due to the multi-functional oval diaphragm. The same diaphragm
can open, close, and reduce pressures down to 0.4 bar.

Protective Coating
The interior and exterior of the valve are treated with a pliable electrostatic spray
Close Mode polyester coating that will not chip, is rust resistant, and stands up to sun, salt and
other corrosive elements. The coating process includes pre-treatment blasting,
electrostatic spraying of polyester, and oven-heated curing to bond the paint.

Easy Maintenance
The Ooval valves requires minimal maintenance. The valve never needs to be removed
from the line. The bonnet is easily removed revealing the diaphragm and spring that
may require upkeep.

Hydraulic Accessories
Ooval offers a complete line of multi-purpose pilots and accessories. By combining
Ooval valves with precise hydraulic accessories, solutions to both common and more
Diaphragm
complex valve requirements are readily attained. The plastic pilot in particular, has
new innovative features, not available in similar type products, such as larger passages
for quick reaction time and non-breakable directional assembly.

Pressure Reducing Valve
Applications
Ooval reducing configurations for general
water supply systems with medium pressure
rating. The plastic pilot model is best for
irrigation and low-pressure applications. The
plastic materials and straightforward design
provide high corrosion resistance and cost-
effective prices. The 2-way pilot configuration,
together with the unique diaphragm, enables
smooth and precise pressure control.
Use Ooval valves for domestic, water works,
and filtration networks.

Description
Ooval valves are piloted hydraulic valves activated
by line pressure. The pilot valve has a spring-loaded
diaphragm that is sensitive to downstream pressure.
The pilot’s spring is preset to the desired reduced
pressure. The pilot valve maintains a constant
downstream pressure by gradually opening and
closing the Ooval valves at any flow rate.

Available Models
• 3-way Pressure Reducing Valve for sizes 2”-6”
with pressure ratings up to 145 PSI (10 bars).
• 2-way Pressure Reducing Valve with pressure
rating up to 232 PSI (16 bars).

Pressure Sustaining / Relief Valve
Applications
Use the pressure sustaining/relief valve to
maintain constant upstream pressure and to
avoid undesirable high-pressure situations. This
protection is required for most irrigation
systems, domestic and industrial utilities, and
for general water supply systems. The 3-way
plastic pilot model provides high resistance to
corrosion at a cost effective price. It is best for
irrigation, filtration manifolds, water treatment
circulation and low-pressure domestic
applications. The 2-way pilot command provides
smooth and precise pressure control.

Description
The pilot valve has a spring-loaded diaphragm that
is exposed to upstream pressure. The valve is
normally closed. With Pressure Relief Valves, only
when the line pressure rises above a preset point
does the valve open to reduce the excessive
upstream pressure. The excess pressure is released
off-line. Pressure Sustaining Valves reduce the
excessive downstream pressure without causing
surge hazards. When the line pressure drops beneath
the desired point, the valve closes.

Pressure Reducing/Sustaining Valve
Applications
Use the pressure reducing/sustaining valve to
define two pressure zones along a supply line.
Typically, this occurs along a downhill flow.

Description
Pressure Reducing/Sustaining valves are piloted
hydraulic valves activated by line pressure and
controlled by pilots. Both pilots have spring-loaded
diaphragms. One pilot is responsive to upstream
pressure and the other to downstream pressure.
The combined operation of the two pilot valves
sustains the preset minimum upstream pressure
of the valve, and at the same time, reduces the
downstream pressure to a preset maximum
pressure. The valve opens or closes gradually to
maintain both required pressures simultaneously.

Available Models
• 3-way plastic piloted Pressure Reducing/Sustaining

Quick Pressure Relief Valve
Applications
A Quick Pressure Relief Valve (QPR) protects
water systems from rapidly increasing excess
pressure. It is recommended to install the Ooval
QPR valve at the start of the system near the
main supply line or booster pump.

Description
The Pressure Relief Valve is a piloted hydraulic valve
activated by line pressure. The 2-way pilot has a
spring-loaded diaphragm that is sensitive to
upstream pressure. The valve is normally closed. As
the line pressure rises above the preset level, the
valve opens quickly to relieve the excess pressure.

Available Models
The valve is a general application 2-way piloted
Pressure Relief Valve with a pressure rating up to
232 PSI (16 bars).

Function
The Pressure Relief Valve is activated by line pressure.
The displacement of the diaphragm in the pilot is
due to a rise in line pressure against the spring
force. As the pressure increases above the set point,
the water flow inside the pilot is directed so that
the valve quickly opens.

3 5

Control Mode
Automatic: When the line pressure is low, the sustaining pilot and the
valve are closed by line pressure. The valve remains closed until the line
pressure is higher than the set point of the pilot. As pressure increases
above the set point, the diaphragm moves upward under the line pressure
and port 5 (outlet downstream) of the pilot opens, allowing the control
chamber to drain through the vent. The Ooval opens in a few seconds
relieving the excess pressure.

Electric Control Hydraulic Valve
Applications
On/Off electric valves are used for remote
control of hydraulic valves. Normally open or
normally closed configurations are available.

Description
The valve opens or closes by electric command
through a selection of either 2-way or 3-way
solenoid valves. The solenoid opens or closes the
valve when energized by an electric signal. The
electric signal originates with a controller, timer,
sensor or remote control device.

Available Models
Three-way normally closed and 3-way normally

Hydraulic Remote Control Valve
Applications
Use valve with a hydraulic remote control in
those situations where the command pressure
is lower or higher then the working pressure
or in situations where there are topographic
differences between the command source and
the line water pressure at the valve. The
hydraulic remote control is also used where
the use of wires is not feasible.

Description
On/Off hydraulic remote control valves are used
for the remote control of hydraulic valves. In normally
closed (NC) configurations, the valve remains closed
until the hydraulic relay receives a hydraulic
command. In the normally open (NO) model, the
valve is open until the hydraulic relay receives a
hydraulic command to close.

Available Models
Normally open and normally closed configurations
are available. Operating pressure is up to 145 PSI
(10 bars). A pressure regulating or pressure
sustaining pilot may be used in conjunction with
the hydraulic relay.

Function
The valve is activated by line pressure and controlled
by the hydraulic relay. The relay includes a spring-
loaded diaphragm that determines the pressure
required to activate the command. In the normally

Standard Valves
Pressure Reducing
Maintains a constant downstream pressure regardless of upstream pressure
or flow rate fluctuations. The set point of reduced pressure is adjustable by
a 3-way pilot valve. A spring-loaded diaphragm inside the pilot moves
according to the downstream pressure changes. The pressure fluctuations
are compensated by gradual opening and closing of the valve.

Pressure Sustaining/Relief
Maintains the minimum preset upstream pressure regardless of changes
of pressure in downstream or flow rate. Pressure relief is a sustaining valve
that releases excess flow from the system.

Quick Reacting Pressure Relief


A safety valve that opens instantly, but closes slowly to protect the system
against excessive pressure.

Manual
Opens and closes manually by means of a 3-way selector.

Electric
Valve opens or closes in response to an electric command using a
3-way solenoid.

Hydraulic Relay with Shastomit or Galit


A relay installed on the valve in the field is activated by a solenoid at the
control station.

Pressure Reducing/Sustaining
The combined operation of the two pilots sustains a constant pressure
upstream of the valve, and at the same time, reduces the downstream
pressure to a preset pressure. Both pilots have spring-loaded diaphragms.
One pilot is sensitive to upstream pressure and the other to downstream
pressure. The valve opens or closes gradually to maintain both required
pressures simultaneously.

Specialty Valves
Altitude Control Valve
Used to maintain a preset water level in a reservoir or water tank. The valve
is activated by line pressure according to the hydrostatic pressure. The valve
stays open as long as the water level of the reservoir is below a preset level.
As the water level rises, the valve gradually closes.

Electric Float Control Valve


The valve is a normally closed electric float control valve. A float hanging over
the water surface at the desired height switches the electric circuit. When the
water level drops below the float, the electric circuit is switched on and opens
the valve through a solenoid valve. As the rising water reaches the float level,
the circuit is disconnected and the valve closes.

Flow Rate Control Valve


The flow rate through the valve is determined indirectly using an orifice plate.
Normally the valve is partly open to allow a preset constant flow rate. The
pressure loss across the orifice is proportional to the actual flow rate. Upon
increasing pressure loss, the valve is automatically piloted to close. When the
pressure drops, the valve opens and the flow rate is maintained in spite of
the line pressure fluctuations or the downstream demand.

Float Level Control Valve


Used to maintain a preset water level in a reservoir or water tank. The line
pressure activates the valve. The valve stays open as long as the water level
in the reservoir is below a preset level. As the water level rises and floats the
pilot’s arm, the valve gradually closes.
