The AqMatic V42C-0000-00031 is a 1-inch normally open cast iron diaphragm valve with an independent pressure (IP) solenoid, designed for systems that require external pilot pressure control and consistent actuation regardless of line conditions.
This model is part of the V42 series, a metal-body diaphragm valve platform used in water treatment, filtration, and industrial flow control applications. The V42 design uses a Y-pattern body with a large seat opening and high-lift diaphragm, allowing higher flow rates with lower pressure loss.
The valve is configured as normally open, meaning flow is allowed under standard conditions and the valve closes when control pressure is applied to the upper chamber.
The independent pressure (IP) solenoid allows actuation using an external pressure source rather than relying solely on line pressure. This makes it well suited for systems with variable or low line pressure where consistent valve response is required.
This configuration uses a Buna-N diaphragm, seals, and discs, supporting compatibility with standard water treatment and general fluid handling applications. It is commonly integrated into automated systems using stagers and stager controls, or used alongside other V42 diaphragm valves in multi-valve assemblies.
