Automatic Cascading Sequence Valve | 6000 psi Aluminum

$261.00

The model 1018 valve is an open-shut valve having two control pressure ports. When pressure is applied
to the top port the valve opens. When pressure is applied to the side control port the valve closes. When no pressure or equal pressures up to 6000 psi are applied to both control ports the valve is held open by a bias spring. Its primary function is control of cascade systems used for such purposes as filling breathing air cylinders and vehicle CNG (compressed natural gas) tanks. Used between a compressor and cascade system of storage tanks the 1018 valve can be used to fill the highest pressure bank first, then the next highest, etc. without operator assistance.

Typical Applications

  • Automatic control of flow from cascade banks or air, CNG or other gases to portable tanks.
  • Automatic control of compressor operation when filling cascade banks such that the compressor can operate at pressure no higher than the bank being filled.
  • Application where it is economical or desirable not to have electronic controls, such as in CNG fill stations, where such controls could be a hazard.
  • Numerous other applications where two reference pressures are compared and the valve is to be open when one reference pressure exceeds the other.
