Frequently Asked Questions

SOCLA Stabilisers are control valves designed to maintain a constant preset downstream pressure, regardless of variations in upstream pressure or downstream demand. They ensure stable and efficient operation in water distribution systems.

These valves operate by adjusting the flow to maintain a consistent downstream pressure. When the downstream pressure drops below the set point, the valve opens to increase flow; when it rises above the set point, the valve closes to reduce flow.

The C101 model features an EPDM-reinforced membrane, a brass and stainless steel position indicator with purge, and a ductile iron body with epoxy coating. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -10°C to 90°C.

SOCLA Stabilisers are suitable for water distribution, irrigation systems, and pump outlets. They are ideal for applications requiring precise downstream pressure control.

SOCLA offers stabilisers in sizes ranging from DN 40 to DN 300 mm, with various pressure ratings to accommodate different system requirements.

Installation involves placing the valve horizontally with the cap oriented upwards (up to a 45° incline). It's recommended to install a strainer upstream and an air relief valve downstream or at the system's high point.

Regular maintenance every 6 to 12 months includes purging the upper chamber, flushing infrequently used valves, and checking and cleaning filters. A comprehensive inspection every 5 years is advisable.

Yes, models like the C102 are equipped with two identical pilot valves, allowing uninterrupted operation during maintenance or pressure setting adjustments.

Components include an EPDM-reinforced membrane, brass and stainless steel position indicators, and a ductile iron body with epoxy coating, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.

SOCLA Stabilisers comply with international standards, including Directive 2014/68/EU, and have approvals such as ACS and PED 2014/68/EU.

They are designed for use with clear water up to 2 mm in particle size. For other fluids, it's essential to validate the operating conditions.

Yes, SOCLA Stabilisers adhere to European standards and regulations, including CE marking, ensuring reliability and compatibility in various water management applications.
