Valves + Get AlertsAPCO SmartCHECK pump control valves from DeZURIK are ideal for applications including raw sewage, wastewater, raw water, clean water or any fluid pumped through a pipeline. The APCO SmartCHECK is a single valve that combines the functionality of a full-featured electric motor-operated pump control valve with the best features of APCO’s premium CVS-6000 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, without the need for expensive hydraulic power units, accumulators and maintenance-intensive hydraulic controls. The unique SmartCHECK torque unit can be operated with any brand of electric motor operator. The torque unit allows normal function, but will automatically close upon power failure, preventing backflow. SmartCHECK valves produce low head loss, and speed adjustments control fluid acceleration and deceleration, minimizing pressure surges. 320-259-2000; www.dezurik.com.
