Description
This 4-inch backflush valve is a single-cavity hydraulic diaphragm valve engineered for automatic backflush filtration systems in agricultural irrigation. Its low-pressure drive structure reduces diaphragm stress during operation. Constructed from PP (Polypropylene), the valve body resists corrosion, acids and alkalis common in agricultural irrigation environments, enabling flow direction switching between filtration and backflush cycles. It supports commercial procurement for medium to large-scale filtration systems. Customization options include 4" or 3" sewage outlet sizes, alternative connection types, custom pressure ranges, and alternative engineering plastics upon request.

Product Features
The single-cavity structure is optimized for low-pressure operation, reducing excessive diaphragm stress and supporting consistent performance in systems with variable pressure.
Made of PP material, the valve body resists corrosion, acids and alkalis, making it compatible with fertilizer injection systems and diverse agricultural water sources.
The precision-molded plastic spool assembly provides sealing in both filtration and backflush positions, and withstands chemical exposure from fertilizers and treated water.
A short stroke enables gradual flow direction changes, eliminating water hammer, preventing pressure surges, and avoiding mixing of clean water and sewage during transitions.
With minimal moving parts and a 5.5 kg weight, the valve simplifies installation and reduces stress on pipeline connections during system assembly.
The straightforward design allows for simple inspection and maintenance without complex disassembly, reducing potential failure points and associated downtime.
Product Uses
This valve serves key functions in:
Automatic backwash filter systems with disc or shallow media filters for agricultural irrigation
Disc filter systems requiring backflush flow switching
Multi-tank shallow media filter systems
Water supply pipelines for flow direction control (angle-type and straight flow configurations available)
Parallel multi-unit filtration systems enabling non-shutdown automatic cleaning
Large-scale agricultural irrigation projects
Mount the valve in the filter manifold with correct flow orientation, in an accessible location with adequate space.
Connect inlet, outlet and sewage ports via bayonet fittings, ensuring proper locking.
Attach the hydraulic control line from the controller to the control chamber, securing tubing and avoiding kinks.
Slowly pressurize the system, check for leaks, and test operation with a manual backflush cycle.
Regularly inspect connections for leaks, valve operation during cycles, and control line integrity.
Periodically check the diaphragm for wear, spool movement smoothness, control cavity cleanliness, and bayonet connection security.
