Versatile Controls Ltd - the UK distributor for Versa Products Company - offers a new valve option for the testing of solenoid valve control circuits in applications where closing down or “shutting in” the system is not an option. The Versa bypass valve allows the testing and replacement of a component within the circuit without shutting down the main system.

The Versa solution is simple to apply, operate, and accomplish in one valve. Based on the proven Versa V-316 series stainless steel hi-flow range, the design is centred on a standard 3 position manual valve.

The valve operation is as follows:

Position 1.
This is the normal working position or the regular operation mode.

Position 2.
This position places the control circuit in the test mode. In this position the bypass valve allows pressure to the circuit for testing while maintaining pressure on the actuator. With pressure to solenoid inlet and solenoid circuit outlet blocked or isolated, this allows complete testing of the solenoid circuit without shutting down the system.

Position 3.
This position puts the control system in to a replace mode. Should it be determined that a component in the control circuit needs to be repaired and/or replaced, this position allows total isolation from pressure while still holding system pressure to actuator.

Actuation is available as removable key operation or fixed rotary switch. A position indicator is available as an option.
