The model 1600 Altitude Valve is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated, control valve that allows flow into the elevated tank in order to maintain the level at the designated maximum. The valve modulates to maintain the tank level. As the reservoir level drops the main valve is open proportionally to increase the filling
Model 1600 Altitude Control Valves Product OverviewThe Model 1600 Altitude Valve is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve designed to automatically regulate flow into elevated tanks and maintain the water level at a designated maximum, modulating smoothly to increase filling as the reservoir level drops and ensure reliable level control. |

Uses line pressure for operation with no external power required
The primary advantage of the hydraulically actuated valve is its ability to use line pressure as motive power, allowing reliable valve operation without external pressure sources or electricity.
Ideal for pressure, flow, and level control
These valves are designed to provide accurate and dependable control of pressure, flow, and liquid level in a wide range of water and industrial pipeline applications.
Diaphragm actuated globe valve design for precise control
The valve features a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated globe valve design that delivers smooth modulation, high sensitivity, and consistent control performance.
Three major components for durable and efficient operation
The valve consists of three main components: a ductile iron body with SS316 seat, a reinforced diaphragm assembly, and a cover with an installed bearing for strength and long-term reliability.
Single moving part for reduced wear and simplified maintenance
The only moving part is the diaphragm assembly, guided by a precision-machined stem from both top and bottom, reducing wear and improving operational stability.
Reinforced diaphragm for superior sensitivity and response
The nylon fabric reinforced synthetic rubber diaphragm provides excellent sensitivity, fast response, and accurate control across different operating conditions.
Closed-loop pilot control system for automatic adjustment
The control valve operates as a closed-loop system, using a pilot to compare the spring set-point with the actual process variable and automatically adjust valve position as conditions change.
Single set-point control for stable process regulation
The valve is designed as a single set-point control valve, maintaining the process variable as close as possible to the required setting for stable and efficient system operation.
Ductile iron body for high hydraulic and mechanical strength
The valve body is manufactured from ductile iron, providing excellent strength and durability under high hydraulic pressure and mechanical stress.
316 stainless steel seat for erosion resistance and drop-tight sealing
The valve is equipped with a 316 stainless steel seat that offers high resistance to erosion, extended service life, and drop-tight sealing for dependable shutoff performance.
Hydraulically actuated control valves use line pressure as the operating force, eliminating the need for external pressure sources or electricity and making them an efficient and reliable solution for controlling pressure, flow, and level in pipeline systems. These hydraulically operated diaphragm actuated globe valves are built with three main components: a durable ductile iron body with a stainless steel 316 seat, a special reinforced diaphragm assembly, and a cover with an installed bearing. The only moving part is the diaphragm assembly, which is guided from both the top and bottom by a precision-machined stem to ensure stable movement, accurate control, and long service life. The nylon fabric reinforced synthetic rubber diaphragm provides excellent sensitivity and precise response across a wide range of operating conditions.
These hydraulically operated diaphragm control valves function as closed-loop control systems, with the main valve regulated by a pilot that compares its spring setting to the process variable, such as pressure, flow, or level. When the process condition changes, the pilot senses the variation and automatically adjusts the valve to keep the system operating as close as possible to the desired set-point. This design makes the valve a dependable single set-point control valve, with set-point adjustment performed by changing the pilot spring setting. The ductile iron valve body is designed to withstand high hydraulic and mechanical stress, while the 316 stainless steel seat offers excellent resistance to erosion and ensures drop-tight sealing for reliable long-term performance.
