AQUA - AGRO | Pressure Release Valve - Metal - Spring loaded - AQ-5002-M-CLF-PRV - Auto bypass safety valve - 2 inch

AQUA-AGRO AQ-5002-M-CLF-PRV 2 Inch Pressure Relief Valve – Metal Spring Loaded Automatic By-Pass Safety Valve for Irrigation & Water Pipelines

Protect your irrigation and agricultural water distribution systems from excessive pressure with the AQUA-AGRO AQ-5002-M-CLF-PRV 2 Inch Pressure Relief Valve, a heavy-duty, spring-loaded mechanical safety valve designed for pressure relief and automatic water bypass applications.

This 2 inch metal pressure release valve is designed to help control excessive pressure in water pipelines by opening a relief passage when the system pressure exceeds the valve's configured spring setting.

Featuring a robust metal lower body, orange upper housing, spring-loaded mechanism and threaded connection, the valve is suitable for agricultural irrigation, pump discharge lines, water distribution pipelines and compatible industrial water systems.

The AQUA-AGRO automatic by-pass safety valve provides a mechanical pressure protection solution without requiring an electrical supply or irrigation controller.

Key Features & Benefits

• Automatic Pressure Relief: Designed to open when water pressure exceeds the configured relief setting, helping protect compatible irrigation pipelines and equipment.
• Spring Loaded Mechanism: Uses a mechanical spring-operated pressure relief system for automatic operation.
• Heavy Duty Metal Construction: Features a robust metal lower valve body designed for water pipeline applications.
• 2 Inch Threaded Connection: Suitable for installation in compatible 2 inch threaded irrigation and water distribution systems.
• Automatic Water By-Pass Function: Helps divert excess water pressure through the relief outlet when the valve opens.
• Adjustable Spring Assembly: Features a top-mounted threaded adjustment mechanism for setting the pressure relief threshold within the manufacturer's specified range.
• Mechanical Operation: Functions without electricity, batteries or electronic controllers.
• Pressure Protection: Helps reduce the risk of excessive pressure buildup in compatible water distribution systems.
• Irrigation System Compatibility: Suitable for pressure relief applications in agricultural irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and water pumping systems.
• Pipeline Safety Application: Can be incorporated into a properly designed pipeline pressure protection arrangement.
• Compact Vertical Design: The upright valve construction allows installation in suitable pipeline assemblies.
• Reusable Mechanical Valve: Designed for repeated pressure relief operation when correctly selected, installed and maintained.

Applications

1. Agricultural Irrigation Systems

Used in suitable agricultural irrigation pipelines to help relieve excessive water pressure and protect downstream irrigation components.

2. Irrigation Pump Discharge Lines

5. Automatic Irrigation Systems

Provides mechanical pressure relief functionality alongside compatible automated irrigation controllers, solenoid valves and hydraulic control valves.

6. Agricultural Water Distribution Pipelines

Useful for managing excessive pressure in water supply lines serving farms, orchards and agricultural properties.

7. Landscape Irrigation

Suitable for compatible landscape watering systems, commercial gardens, parks and green spaces.

8. Water Pumping Stations

Can form part of a properly sized pressure relief assembly in agricultural water pumping installations.

9. Greenhouse Irrigation

Suitable for pressure protection applications in greenhouse water supply and irrigation distribution systems.

10. Industrial Water Pipelines

May be used in compatible industrial water distribution systems where its pressure rating, materials and relief capacity meet the installation requirements.

How Does the Spring Loaded Pressure Relief Valve Work?

1. Water pressure acts against the valve's internal spring-loaded mechanism.
2. During normal operation, the spring holds the relief valve closed.
3. When the inlet pressure exceeds the configured relief setting, the hydraulic force overcomes the spring force.
4. The valve opens to allow water to discharge through the relief outlet.
5. The discharge helps relieve excess pressure, provided the valve is correctly sized for the system.
6. When the pressure falls sufficiently, the spring mechanism returns the valve toward its closed position.

The valve's opening and closing behaviour depends on its internal design, spring characteristics and operating conditions.

Installation Guidelines

• Install the valve according to the manufacturer's specified orientation and connection arrangement.
• Confirm the correct inlet, relief outlet and thread sizes before installation.
• Ensure the pipeline is depressurised before fitting the valve.
• Use suitable threaded fittings and sealing materials.
• Route the relief outlet to a safe drainage or return line designed to accommodate the expected discharge.
• Set the pressure relief threshold according to the system design and manufacturer's instructions.
• Test the valve after installation to confirm correct operation.
• Inspect the valve periodically for leakage, blockage and mechanical wear.
