SERIES 65

SERIES 65

The OCV Series 65 control valves are automatic, hydraulically actuated, diaphragm operated, rigid seal globe and angle pattern valves. These valves are designed for use in fire protection applications, including deluge, pressure control, water, foam and seawater fire protection systems. The valves consist of three major components: the body, the bonnet and the internal diaphragm assembly.

Compliance & Certification:

  • UL Listed (3”-10” with Buna-N Elastomers) under categories: QXZQ, VLFT & VLMT
  • ABS Type Approval
  • Factory Mutual Approved under categories 1361 & 1363
  • Fire Tested to EN ISO 19921

Consult the UL Listing Guide, FM Approval Guide, or contact Aquestia USA for a complete list of approved applications and valve sizes.

Valve Operation

Valve Closed
When line pressure from the valve inlet is applied to the cover chamber, pressurizing the
diaphragm, the valve is closed drip-tight.

Valve Open
When cover chamber pressure is vented, the valve shifts to the fully open position.

Valve Modulating
The valve is between fully open and closed positions. The valve’s control pilot modulates the
pressure in the cover chamber, positioning the valve to control the desired pressure or flow.
