Below you can learn about our various pump stop
valves. In addition to the benefits they provide that we've
listed below, they are a help to the environment for their
water saving properties. Not only that, they are a benefit
to your savings
accounts if you have to pay your own electric bill. Please
read on to find out more about pump stop valves and feel free
to contact us with any questions you may have.
Pump stop valves were designed mainly to keep
your pump motor from cycling on and off while your using water.
What's really neat about these valves is that they also give
you constant pressure once the pump starts and keeps it constant
while your using water.
For instance, your in the shower, the pump is running, you
have dialed the valve in for 60 psi, your shower is stinging
you with the 60 psi. At that moment, someone flushes a toilet,
the valve opens a little further, lets more water through
while maintaining the same 60 lbs.
These valves have a bypass of either 2.95 gpm
or 2 gpm or less. You can specify which bypass flow rate you
require for special applications. They can also be custom
ordered to fit any application. Get with us by phone or email
with your specs.
To start off, there is the PSP valve. It is
a small plastic device that goes in line between the pump
and the pressure tank/pressure switch as do all the other
valves. This valve is preset at either 40,50 or 60 psi.
If you like to tweak your own pressure, there
is the PS brass model. This valve is adjustable and comes
in 3/4", 1" and 1-1/4".
Next is the PS-ADJ which comes in 1", 1-1/4" and
2". They are all adjustable without the need for a gauge.
The adjustment is built into the valve. You pop the cap up
turn it and watch the pressure change on a numbered wheel.
The one inch valve is stainless steel and the 1-1/4"
and 2" are brass. The other great thing about this valve
is that you never have to remove the valve from the plumbing
to make repairs. If something went wrong with the internal
workings, you simply remove the large nut by unscrewing it
and replace with a new one. It also has a screen built in.
If the screen were to plug during installation with PVC glue
or cuttings, you can easily remove the internal workings,
remove and clean the screen and screw it back together.
Next are the PSP-ADJ that are plastic and come in 1",
2" and 3".
For the commercial aplications there are the cast iron models
that go from 1-1/4" to 4" for much higher flow rates.
