Composite Diaphragm Valves
AquaMatic K52 Series Composite Diaphragm Valve
AquaMatic K52 Series Composite Diaphragm Valves with glass-filled thermoplastic body and cap are designed for water treatment applications including those requiring acids, and harsh caustic chemicals that would rapidly corrode metal valves. Their unique Y-pattern design with a large seat opening and high lift disc permits higher flow rates at lower pressure loss than competitive valves. This product is manufactured in the United States of foreign and domestic parts.
 
 
Typical Applications
• Chemical Injection
• Deionizers
• Desalinization
• Detergent and Bleach Handling
• Electronic Industry
• Evaporation
• Fertilizer Spray Equipment
• Level Control Systems
• Metal Recovery Systems
• Mining Wastes
• Process Water Systems
• Water Treatment Systems
Features and Benefits
• All components can be serviced while the valve is inline
• Separate flow and control chambers permit positive closing without springs
• Reinforced diaphragms are pre-formed and stress relieved to maximize responsiveness and product life
• Diaphragm acts as an actuator, eliminating the need for electric or pneumatic actuators
• All internal parts in contact with media are made of composite materials *
• Seals are ethylene propylene for better chemical resistance **
• Available in sizes from 1/2 to 2-1/2 inch
• A variety of end connectors are available to make the valve compatible in pipe sizes from 3/8 to 3 inch
• Adaptable to a wide variety of control devices
* Normally closed valve configurations are NOT recommended when used with corrosive fluids.
** Valves are NOT recommended for use with any aromatic, hydrocarbon-based media.
