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 wallet 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 using a wrench. The adjustment is built into the valve. You turn the cap to adjust the pressure. The valves 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.

For the commercial aplications there are the cast iron models that go from 1-1/4" to 4" for much higher flow rates.
