How It Works
When the pump starts, the 700x pump control valve opens slowly to prevent sudden pressure drop. When the pump stops, the valve closes 70% rapidly to avoid backflow, then closes the remaining 30% slowly to eliminate water hammer. This two-stage closing action protects your pump and pipeline from pressure surges.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
Install the valve horizontally with the arrow pointing in the flow direction. Before startup, open the bleed valve to remove air from the valve cover. Inspect the diaphragm and spring every 6 months. For frozen areas, insulate the valve body.
