Press-Fit Insert Valve
Press-Fit insert valves are a more compact version of the flow control valves, designed to be fitted inside existing pipe work or inside other equipment such as manifolds, specially prepared housing or water meters.
How do our Press-Fit Insert Flow Control Valves work?
The Maric Flow Control Rubber is at the heart of the flwo control valve, the diameter of the rubber orifice responds automatically to pressure fluctuations, adjusting to maintain a constant flow rate. As pressure differential increases, the orifice diameter reduces to maintain the pre-set flow rate. Likewise, as pressure reduces the orifice automatically opens up to maintain the pre-set, constant flow rate, regardless of pressure variations. As the rubber is constantly flexing within the valve body it is self-cleaning and does not clog.
Sizes can go from 1/4in (6mm) to 1.1/2in (40mm). Flow rates range from 0.2 LPM to 256LPM.
A wide range of inserts are available for various water meters or OEM equipment.
They are available in PVC, Brass and Stainless Steel.
Simple, compact, reliable and characterized with a long life of over 15 years.
