VALVE OPERATION  THE OCV MODEL 127-3
  • Maintains a constant downstream pressure despite fluctuations in demand and inlet pressure.
  • Assuming proper sizing and adjustment, the 127-3 will maintain downstream pressure at the set point ± 2 psi.
  1. Model 65 Basic Control Valve, a hydraulically-operated, diaphragm-actuated globe or angle valve which closes with an elastomer-on-metal seal.
  2. Model 1340 Pressure-Reducing Pilot, a two-way, normally-open pilot valve which senses down stream pressure under its diaphragm and balances it against an adjustable spring load. An increase in downstream pressure tends to make the pilot close.
  3. Model 126 Ejector, a simple “tee” fitting with a fixed orifice in its upstream port. It provides the proper pressure to the diaphragm chamber of the main valve, depending on the position of the pressure-reducing pilot.
  4. Model 141-3 Flow Control Valve, a needle-type valve which provides adjustable, restricted flow in one direction and free flow in the opposite direction. On the 127-3, the flow control valve is connected as an opening speed control.
  5. Model 159 Y-Strainer, (standard on water service valves), the strainer protects the pilot system from solid contaminants in the line fluid.
  6. Two Model 141-4 Ball Valves, (standard on water service valves, optional on fuel service valves), useful for isolating the pilot system for maintenance or troubleshooting.
