SERIES 6500 GLOBE SURGE RELIEF VALVE
The Globe Surge Relief Valve shall be heavily constructed cast iron valve body with integral end flanges and full unobstructed flow thru area. The disc shall be cast iron having a replaceable resilient Buna-N seat for tight shut-off. The Pivot shaft shall be Type 303 stainless steel and be a single unit (not stubs) extending thru the valve body with a weight and lever mounted on one or both ends. The Globe Surge Relief Valve shall be adjusted at the factory to hold closed against the normal operating system pressure. When the system pressure exceeds this setting, the Globe Surge Relief Valve shall open immediately to relieve the pressure rise but close slowly (at an adjustable rate) as the system pressure returns to normal. A heavy duty oil dashpot system shall be externally mounted on the valve to control the rate of closure to prevent or minimize slam. The oil shall be stored in a hermetically sealed oil reservoir maintaining a constant head on the dashpot to immediately fill the dashpot when the valve opens, to assist in non-slam closure. The closing rate shall be externally and infinitely adjustable thru a flow control valve having a locking device to prevent tampering once the close rate is set. Valve exterior to be painted with Universal Primer Paint as accepted by the FDA for use in contact with Potable Water.
