The Aqua Environment model 1018 valve is an open-shut valve having two control pressure ports. When pressure is applied to the top port the valve opens. When pressure is applied to the side control port the valve closes. When no pressure or equal pressures up to 6000 psi are applied to both control ports the valve is held open by a bias spring. Its primary function is control of cascade systems used for such purposes as filling breathing air cylinders and vehicle CNG (compressed natural gas) tanks. Used between a compressor and cascade system of storage tanks the 1018 valve can be used to fill the highest pressure bank first, then the next highest, etc. without operator assistance.
