Description

Equilibrium mechanical ball float valve

The CSA Mod. ATHENA 1 1/4", with a body in ductile cast iron and internals in stainless steel, is used to automatically control the levels in tanks and reservoirs with an angle pattern orientation regardless of upstream pressure variations. Thanks to an exclusive upstream pressure balanced self-cleaning piston technology, the valve will guarantee for absence of chattering and surges during opening and closing in case of built up back pressure, drastically reducing the maintenance operations and possible damages to the pipeline.

• Body in ductile cast iron GJS 450-10.

• Internals in stainless steel.

• Self-cleaning piston technology.

• Painting with fluidized bed technology RAL 5005.

Connections

• Threaded 1" ¼ BSP F; different on request.

Standard

• Design and testing according to EN 1074.

Working conditions

• Pressure range: 10-16 bar.

• Minimum inlet pressure: 0 bar.

• Treated water maximum 60°C, higher temperature on request.

Quality e certifications

Quality in its entirety is now an essential requirement for all businesses that aim at gaining and maintaining their position in today's market.

For this reason we have always had the objective of guaranteeing a product managing cycle which, developing a synergy between the various sectors of the company ensures:

  • Quick and precise information.
  • Evaluation of data received and immediate responses.
  • Rigorous control of incoming and outgoing products.

The production cycle, targets a constant improvement of our products, aims at complete customer satisfaction ensures predetermined margins of tolerance establishing production standards so as to guarantee that the semi-finished products reach the next production stage with the required specifications.

All our valves are made of ductile cast iron GJS 450-10 and in absolute compliance with Italian and European standards and are designed to work at a pressure of 25-40 bars. The work is carried out only by means of numerically controlled lathes, mills, horizontal machining units and subsequently examined step-by-step following strict procedures. Internal components of our valves are largely made of stainless steel or other high resistant materials for the maximum prevention of cavitation effects and corrosion.

Painting, pre-treated by sand-blasting grade SA 2,5, is carried out inside a fluidized bed containing epoxy powder, which guarantees maximum surface protection.

All our products are tested under water pressure and certified.
