Low pressure cut off valve question
Low pressure cut off valve question
(OP)
Hello I am a new EIT and have a question about pressure valves. To summarize the scenario:
A waterline was installed at the bottom of a slough (anchored to the ground; not covered). Because this waterline could potentially be damaged, we want to install a valve that would close if the pressure were to be reduced due to a leak in the line.
We were thinking we would need something that would act in the reverse of an altitude cut off valve. Is there such a thing and where could I find information on this? Thank you!

Are you trying to keep the pipe full of fluid? How will the pipe be damaged? Not sure from reading your explanation.

You can also install an automatic valve that will close when the pressure drops although this is probably not necessary if you have the alarm.
