 Description
The control valves C 701 prevents from overflowing and maintains a constant level in the tank thanks to a float. Openings and
closings are very progressive, a few centimeters from the required level.

Pilot setting ranges :
• Regulation on the first centimeters.
• Working travel : 15 cm

Installation :
• Install a strainer upstream
• Install an air relief valve down-stream or at the high point near the control valve
• Vertical setting up : change the spring of the main valve (option 7)

Other types :
• C702

NB : Connecting pipe 10/12mm from the pressure tap to the valve not included.

Maintenance
We recommend a maintenance programme of between 6 to 12 months according to the quality of the water and to the pressure :
• Purging the upper chamber
• Flushing the valves not frequently used
• Checking and cleaning filters of the pilot circuit and main piping system.
• Checking the working (pressures)

Every 5 years, general maintenance is advisable :

• Dismantling
• Cleaning of main valve and pilot valve
• Preventive removing of the seals (set available - please consult us)
• Reassembling and tests.

 Other operating characteristics

Cavitation

A too large differential pressure and a low downstream pressure may result in damage to the valve by cavitation.

To avoid it, refer to the cavitation curve and if needed, reduce the differential pressure by installing and connecting two or
more control valves in same line (consult us).

Stainless steel seat and counter seat are standard.
