PC Pump with High Pressure Joint

Progressive cavity pump universal joints are now available with ratings to 360 psig. This allows the pumps to be used on applications with high suction heads, low NPSHA applications with reverse rotation, or in vertical pumps where the joints are exposed to the rated discharge pressure of the pumps. A new proprietary technology allows the joints to be hydraulically balanced and reinforced against implosion from high pressures.

Reliable Backflow Protection

The Waterflex® Check Valve features a wafer design that provides low head loss in high-pressure potable water applications. Operating solely on line pressure and backpressure, forward hydraulic pressure folds the elastomer disk away from the perforated plate to allow flow. Reverse pressure seals the disk against the perforated plate to prevent backflow.

Ultra-Capacity Control Valve

The Mark 100 globe control valve delivers higher capacity in a valves sized 6 to 16 inches, and pressure classes 150 to 600. The wide, streamlined gallery of the valve increases capacity an average of 15 percent over competing valves. This can help save costs by using a smaller valve; a 10-inch Mark 100 has a tested capacity comparable to the catalog capacity of competitors' 12-inch valves.
