Model 1 Suppression Valve Function Suppression Valve is designed to dampen pressure surges and flow spikes in piping systems. It helps protect pumps, valves, meters, and other components by smoothing rapid changes in pressure and flow. Key benefits Reduces water hammer and pressure spikes that can damage equipment. Lowers noise and vibration in the system for quieter operation. Improves flow stability and system response to demand changes. Supports reliable operation in a variety of piping configurations. Compatibility and connections Suitable for use in systems with compatible piping and standard valve connections. Connection size, port type, and mounting options vary by model; consult the product datasheet for exact values. Size, material, and performance Available in multiple sizes to fit different system requirements; exact dimensions are model dependent. Materials depend on the model and application; common options include brass, stainless steel, and engineered polymers; verify the material in the product spec. Performance is defined by the specific model, including operating pressure range and flow handling; check the specification sheet for details. Use scenarios Residential water supply: install at a main line or near a water heater to reduce hammer when quick shutoff occurs. Industrial hydraulic circuit: install on branch lines to dampen surges during motor start or valve actuation, protecting pumps and actuators. HVAC systems: in chilled water or boiler feed lines to smooth flow and reduce noise in the distribution loop. Installation and maintenance Install according to system design and mounting provisions; ensure proper support and alignment. Inspect periodically for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage; gaskets or seals per maintenance schedule. Notes Refer to the product datasheet for exact specifications, materials, and allowable pressures. For compatibility questions, provide model number and system details to the supplier.
