AUTOMATIC WATER CONTROL VALVES

AUTOMATIC WATER CONTROL VALVES

The deluge valves in this category all have a means of actuation to control the on/off (open/close) function. Actuation is provided as pneumatic or electrical - or both. These actuated deluge valves come both with and without pressure regulation.

2022 NEW: GW C-300 pressure regulating deluge valves are now FM approved in sizes 3" to 10" with differential pressure as low as 1 bar across the valve.

pdf (DV050 1001B) - GW C300 Valve - General Data

The GW C300 high performance fluid control valve is an extremely versatile wafer type unit with a varied number of options and applications. The valve was developed in conjunction with major oil companies to perform in harsh offshore petrochemical environments. The GW C-300 range of valves has been widely used within the oil & gas industry for more than 25 years – serving as the key component in fire protection systems where reliable water control is called for.

(DV050 1007D) - Automatic Water Control Valve, with Pressure Control + Pneumatic Actuator

This valve is pneumatically actuated and provides pressure control. This valve is used where a constant downstream pressure and a controlled smooth opening and closing of the deluge water supply is called for. The valve's adjustable restrictors can be set to provide the opening- and closing speed desired, to prevent the damaging effects of reaction forces and water hammer. The valve is fitted with an external pneumatic actuator to facilitate activation from e.g. pilot line air pressure drop. The actuator if fitted with a latch that locks the actuator and deluge valve open when activated, thus requireing manual re-setting to close.

(DV050 1018C) - Automatic Water Control Valve, Non Regulating with Strainer & Restrictors + Pneumatic Actuator (Latching)

This valve is used where a controlled and smooth opening and closing of the deluge water supply is called for. The valve's adjustable restrictors can be set to provide the opening- and closing speed desired, to prevent the damaging effects of reaction forces and water hammer. The valve is fitted with an external pneumatic actuator to facilitate activation from e.g. pilot line air pressure drop. The actuator is fitted with a latch that locks the actuator and deluge valve open when activated, thus requireing manual re-setting to close.

(DV050 1004C) - Automatic Water Control Valve, Non Regulating with Strainer & Restrictors + Integral Pneumatic Actuator (non-latching)

This valve is used where a controlled and smooth opening and closing of the deluge water supply is called for. The valve's adjustable restrictors can be set to provide the opening- and closing speed desired, to prevent the damaging effects of reaction forces and water hammer. The valve is fitted with a compact integral pneumatic actuator to facilitate activation from e.g. pilot line air pressure drop. The actuator has no latch which allows the deluge valve to be remotely operated (opened and closed).

(DV050 1009C) - Automatic Water Control Valve, Non Regulating with Strainer & Restrictors + Solenoid (Latching)

This valve is used where a controlled and smooth opening and closing of the deluge water supply is called for. The valve's adjustable restrictors can be set to provide the opening- and closing speed desired, to prevent the damaging effects of reaction forces and water hammer. The valve is fitted with an external heavy duty solenoid valve to facilitate reliable electrical activation. The solenoid is fitted with a latch that locks the deluge valve open when activated, thus requireing manual re-setting to close.

(DV050 1008D) - Automatic Water Control Valve, with Pressure Control + Solenoid

This valve is electrically actuated and provides pressure control. This valve is used where a constant downstream pressure and a controlled smooth opening and closing of the deluge water supply is called for. The valve's adjustable restrictors can be set to provide the opening- and closing speed desired, to prevent the damaging effects of reaction forces and water hammer. The valve is fitted with an external heavy duty solenoid valve to facilitate reliable electrical activation.

(DV050 1005C) - Automatic Water Control Valve, Non Regulating with Strainer & Restrictors

This valve is the simplest type in the GW C-300 range of deluge valves. It is fitted with a manifold block with strainer and restrictors facilitating customized setting of opening and closing speeds. This valve will work as an on/off valve only. Actuation of the valve can be obtained by fitting an actuator (manual, pneumatic, hydraulic or electric) to control the water release from the sleeve cavity via the 1/4" NPT port.

(DV050 1020C) - Automatic Water Control Valve, with Pressure Control + Pneumatic Actuator & Solenoid

This valve is both electrically & pneumatically actuated and provides pressure control. This valve is used where a constant downstream pressure and a controlled smooth opening and closing of the deluge water supply is called for. The valve's adjustable restrictors can be set to provide the opening- and closing speed desired, to prevent the damaging effects of reaction forces and water hammer. The valve is fitted with an external heavy duty solenoid and a pneumatic actuator valve to facilitate reliable electrical and/or pneumatic actuation. Both actuators are fitted with a latch that locks the deluge valve open when activated, thus requireing manual re-setting to close.

(DV050 1015C) - GW Actuator (C 300)

This auxiliary actuator provides either pneumatic or hydraulic pilot line operation of a C-300 valve to open or close upon instruction.The GW C-300 Actuator is developed and designed for maximum reliability when installed and operated in the harshest on-shore and off-shore environments. To prevent any malfunctioning due to components seizing, sticking or corroding, the number of moving mechanical parts has been reduced to an absolute minimum, and the few moving parts present are ALL 100% isolated from the flow media - i.e. no water contact. The only moving component in contact with the flow media is the elastomeric pilot sleeve
