Applications
■ Water distribution systems.
■ Fire protection storage tanks.
■ Irrigation systems.
■ Whenever the constant level regulation and control function is required.
Operating principle - Angle pattern installation
Athena ball float valve is the best solution for a constant maximum level control balancing the inflow and
outflow demand. Driven by a large float in stainless steel the valve closes drip-tight at the maximum level,
and modulates to maintain it as soon as it drops due to consumptions.
Optional
■ Anti freezing device. On request the valve is provided with a 3/8”G threaded outlet, which
can be used as an anti-freezing device, simply by replacing the tap with a drainage ball valve
discharging directly into the tank.
During the winter season, when the temperature drops consistently, the partial opening of the
drainage port will create a flow circulation avoiding frost and possible damages related to it.
Technical data
Installation
■ Make sure that the supply pipe has the flanges
drilled according to the requested PN and that
ATHENA is installed horizontally, properly fixed
and sustained.
■ Gate valves and filters have to be installed to
allow for maintenance operations, and to
prevent dirt from reaching the internal compo-
nents of the valve.
■ Position the valve in a place which is easy to
reach and wide enough for maintenance and
control purposes.
■ Observe the overflow level and make sure that
the outlet flange remains always above it, this is
to avoid back-flow.
■ In case of excessive Δp, to avoid cavitation
and possible damages to the valve, a direct
acting pressure reducing valve CSA VRCD
series should be installed.
