Automatic Control Valve
Ames Fire & Waterworks announced a new grooved-end automatic control valve (ACV) for reducing water pressure in fire protection systems. The grooved-end 910GF ACV is UL Listed and available in 2- to 8-inch sizes. It is typically installed in commercial or industrial fire sprinkler systems to automatically reduce a higher inlet pressure to an adjustable lower outlet pressure. The diaphragm-actuated, pilot-operated valve is sensitive to downstream flow and pressure fluctuations. The new ACV complements the Ames package of products designed for fire protection systems, which includes the Colt and Maxim Series backflow preventers, gear-operated slow-close ball valves, in-building risers and UL/FM strainers.
