The Model 790-M Burst Control Valve is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve that upon sensing flow in excess of setting shuts off and locks drip tight until it is manually reset. As long as the flow is lower than the setting, the valve remains fully open, minimizing head loss.
The Model 790-M is a pilot controlled valve equipped with an adjustable, 2-Way, high sensitivity, differential pressure sustaining pilot.
The pilot [1], senses valve differential pressure.
Should that pressure rise above pilot setting, the pilot opens, introducing upstream pressure into the upper control chamber [2], causing the main valve to begin an irreversible “close & lock” process. Opening and resetting the main valve requires manual intervention by means of the manual reset valve [3]. When differential pressure is below pilot setting, the pilot blocks upstream pressure from the control chamber, and the main valve remains fully open.
The manual test valve [4] enables simulation of burst conditions and valve response. After testing, reset procedure is required. The mechanical flow stem [5] enables adjusting the closing point, to meet various flow regimes.

Every water system is vulnerable to bursts, whether due to system problems or external mechanical damage. This illustration shows a reservoir feeding a downhill line with lower elevation consumers. In case of burst, each Model 790-M protects against flooding lower elevation consumers.
The Model 790-M, installed at the reservoir outlet, also protects against reservoir emptying.
