DeZURIK, a global valve manufacturer headquartered in Sartell, Minnesota, has announced its new APCO SmartCHECK Pump Control Valve (CPC). The single valve combines the functionality of a full-featured electric motor operated pump control valve with features of APCO’s premium swing check valve.
The valve has been engineered to control pressure surges during normal pump startups and shutdowns and to close positively upon power failure. The valve is designed for use in many applications including raw sewage, wastewater, raw water, clean water or any fluid pumped through a pipeline.
It has an internally pressure balanced design that aims to ensure reliable closure. During power outage or loss of pressure, the built-in check valve will quickly close to prevent damaging backflow without fear of sticking open.
