BACK PRESSURE VALVES

Griffco M & G-Series diaphragm back pressure valves

are designed to enhance the performance of any
chemical feed system by applying a constant pressure
to the discharge of the pump. This will ensure positive
ball seating in the pump check valve, a positive head
differential and a constant minimum discharge head.
The valve also acts as an anti-siphon valve.

Features:
 Robust Construction ensures high reliability
in municipal and industrial applications.
 Vulcanized PTFE / EPDM diaphragm
 Adjustable 10 – 150 psi pressure range
 Optional 250 psi & 350 psi rated valves
 Anti-Siphon Function
 Optional built in priming valve
 Tamper resistant adjustment screw
 Wide range of liquid handling materials
include: PVC, CPVC, PP, PVDF, PTFE
316 SS, Alloy 20, Hastelloy C

Operation: Griffco diaphragm back pressure valves apply

positive discharge pressure to a metering pump
system to prevent siphoning and eliminate
varying dosage rates caused by fluctuating
downstream pressure. The diaphragm is held
against the valve seat by an internal spring.
When the preset pressure is exceeded, the
diaphragm is forced up and chemical flows
through the valve to the injection point. The
valves are preset for 50 psi, however they are
field adjustable from 10 - 150 psi (optional 250
psi and 350 psi) via the adjustment screw.
Installation should be as close to the injection
point as possible to prevent chemical line
drainage, and it is most important that all
chemical system equipment such as pulsation
dampeners and pressure gauges are between
the pump and back pressure valve.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES

Griffco M & G-Series diaphragm pressure relief

valves are designed to protect chemical feed systems
from damage caused by excessively high pressure, a
result of a blockage in the chemical feed line due to
defective equipment, accidental valve closure, or
plugged injection valves.

Features:
 Robust Construction ensures high reliability
in municipal and industrial applications.
 Vulcanized PTFE / EPDM diaphragm
 Adjustable 10 – 150 psi pressure range
 Optional 250 psi, 350 psi, and high
pressure models up to 2000psi rated valves
 Tamper resistant adjustment screw
 Wide range of liquid handling materials
include: PVC, CPVC, PP, PVDF, PTFE 316
SS, Alloy 20, Hastelloy C

Operation:
Griffco diaphragm pressure relief valves
operate when the pressure in the chemical
system exceeds the preset pressure of the
valve. The diaphragm is held against the
valve seat by an internal spring. When the
preset pressure is exceeded the diaphragm
is forced up and the chemical flows out
the relief port, back to the chemical
tank or to the suction side of the pump.
The valves are pre-set at 50 psi, however
3 port design, ¼” – 1” valves
they are field adjustable from 10 - 150psi,
(optional 250psi, 350psi, and high pressure
models up to 2000psi) via the adjustment
screw. The relief valve should be set
approximately 15 psi higher than the system
pressure. Installation should be made as
close to the pump as possible, without any
2 port design, high
pressure valve valves or accessories between the relief
valve and the pump. Consult your pump
manufacturer for his recommendations.
