Series 94 - Check Valves

The OCV Series 94 check valve is a simple on-off valve that opens to allow forward flow when inlet pressure exceeds outlet and closes tightly to prevent back flow when outlet pressure exceeds inlet pressure.

• Model 94-1 Check Valve with Opening Speed Control
• Model 94-2 Check Valve with Closing Speed Control
• Model 94-3 Check Valve with Opening & Closing Speed Controls

Valve Features 

• Operates automatically off line pressure.
• Heavy-duty, nylon-reinforced diaphragm isolates top chamber operating pressure from bottom chamber line pressure.
• Rectangular-shaped, soft seat seal provides drip-tight Class VI closure.
• Diaphragm assembly guided top and bottom.
• Throttling seat retainer for flow and pressure stability.
• Easily maintained without removal from the line.
• Diaphragm replaced without removing internal stem assembly.
• Replaceable seat ring.
• Alignment pins assure proper reassembly after maintenance.
• Center-tapped bonnet facilitates installation of position indicator or valve-actuated switches.
• Ductile iron and steel valves are epoxy-coated inside and out, for maximum corrosion protection.
• Valves are factory tested.
• Valves are serial numbered and registered to facilitate replacement parts and factory support.

Equipped with controlled opening speed pump discharge pressure is gradually introduced to the system. Pump is protected from reverse flow.

Used in conjunction with the Model 126, the Series 94 provides start up and shutdown surge protection for deep well pumps.

Valve Operation

The OCV Model 94-1 check valve, with adjustable opening speed, is a simple on-off valve that opens to allow forward flow and closes tightly to prevent backflow. The 94 operates on the differential between two pressures: upstream or inlet pressure acting under the seat of the valve, and downstream or discharge pressure acting on the diaphragm via the single hydraulic line. When upstream pressure is the greater of the two (forward flow), the valve opens at an adjustable rate to allow flow. When downstream pressure is greater (backflow), the valve is forced fully closed.

The Model 94-1 consists of the following:

1. Model 65 Basic Valve
2. Model 141-3 Opening Speed Control
3. Model 159 Y-Strainer
4. Model 141-4 Ball Valve

5. Model 155 Valve Position Indicator
