Maric Valves

What the Maric Flow Control Valve Does
The Maric flow control valve is designed to deliver your required flow rate, irrespective of pressure differential*, over a wide range**.
The minimum differential required to achieve rated flow for a Precision Maric valve is 140 kPa.
*Pressure differential is difference between the inlet and outlet pressure
**Pressure differential range for Precision type valves is 140 – 1000 kPa

Benefits & why use a Maric Valve?

  • Valuable protection for flow rate sensitive pumps, filters, pump glands, and water distribution systems.
  • The valves boast automatic, maintenance free, and self cleaning operation.
  • The valves useful life can be up to 20 years.
  • They are compact and are available in the broadest range of connection types, sizes and material types in the world.

Note: The flow controller is not designed to control pressure.

How the valve works

  • The flow control valves utilise a flexible rubber control ring, with an orifice diameter that responds instantly to fluctuations in water pressure.
  • As pressure differential increases, the orifice diameter reduces to maintain the pre-set flow rate.
  • Likewise, as pressure reduces, the orifice opens up to maintain the pre-set flow rate.
  • These valves are particularly suitable for use on poor water quality, because the flow controlling element is a rubber material, and flexes under normal operation.
  • This minimises the risk of blockage, and eliminates the build-up of scale.
