Z-Tide Pressure Regulating Valves

Z-Tide Valves Industrial Co. Ltd has been producing pressure control valves under their Z Tide brand in Taiwan since 1971. Their direct and pilot operated valves can be supplied to fulfill a range of different control functions including pressure control, altitude control, sustaining and many others.

The Z Tide pilot operated axial flow valves offer significant benefits due to the reduced pressure drop across the valve and increased flow rates from the straight through design. Mounting the pilot regulator directly to the body removes the potential problems associated with external piping and ensures the most compact space requirements can be accommodated. This design is available in pressure reducing, pressure sustaining and pressure relief functions. Valves in this series: P02, P02 UL listed, P03, P04 and P06.

The Z Tide diaphragm operated valves are available in pressure reducing, pressure sustaining and pressure relief operations for a range of common pressures. The pressure reducing valves also have additional pressure ranges available for low and micro pressure control through the use of increased area diaphragms. These valves can be used on liquids or gases and are available in flanged and screwed connections.

The P01 series Z Tide remote pilot operated float valves offer significant benefits due to the reduced pressure drop across the valve and increased flow rates from the straight through design. The supplied float valve does not need to be mounted near the main control valve, allowing a very flexible installation. The P01 is ideal for controlling water flow into large tanks.

Water hammer can be a costly problem in pumped water systems and the Z Tide water hammer arrestors can be very effective in reducing or eliminating the problem. These units work through a sealed pressurised chamber and diaphragm that deflects from the shock pulse, absorbing the energy safely. When installed in the optimum position, these valves will reduce the noise, vibration and potential damage from the effects of water hammer.

Water pumps entrain air into the system which when allowed to collect at high points can stall flow and promote pressure lock issues. The P40 series Z Tide air release valves should be mounted at high points in the pipework to allow the constant venting of entrained air through the valve by means of the internal float and valve assembly.
