Altecnic / Caleffi 309 Series Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve 1/2" 90°C 7 Bar - 309473CST
The Altecnic / Caleffi 309 Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve - 309473CST is designed to effectively control and limit the temperature and pressure of hot water in domestic storage heaters. This essential safety device prevents water temperatures from exceeding 100°C, thereby eliminating the risk of steam formation. When the system reaches predetermined pressure or temperature thresholds, the valve discharges a sufficient amount of water into the atmosphere, ensuring that both temperature and pressure are maintained within safe operating limits. The valve's mechanism operates as follows: - **Temperature Control:** As the temperature in the storage heater rises, the thermostat compound within the temperature sensor, which is submerged in hot water, expands. This expansion causes a thrust pin to move, actuating the obturator and opening the valve. The valve is set to activate at temperatures exceeding 90°C. - **Pressure Control:** When pressure limits are reached, the obturator, which is opposed by a set spring, lifts and fully opens the outlet. The pressure setting is specifically configured according to the maximum allowable pressure within the system. As temperature and pressure subside, the valve automatically re-closes within designated tolerances.

Medenus RS255 Gas Pressure Regulator & Shut Off Valve
The Medenus RS255 Gas Pressure Regulator and Shut Off Valve guarantees a consistent outlet pressure, irrespective of the primary inlet pressure. This device adeptly manages variations in gas usage, providing rapid pressure regulation when there are sudden changes in flow rate. Additionally, the integrated safety shut off valve ensures secure operation by shutting off in the event of excessively high or low pressure levels.
The Medenus RS255 Gas Pressure Regulator and Shut Off Valve complies with DVGW Code of Practice G260/262 and is suitable for all neutral and non-corrosive gases (other gases available upon request). It comes with flange connections ranging from DN50 to DN100 and is capable of handling working pressures up to 16 bar. All gas pressure regulators in this range are certified by DVGW and carry CE certification.
Every regulator in the RS series boasts several options, including a safety membrane, vent valve, remote release for the shut off valve (SSV), noise reduction features, and more. For comprehensive details, please consult our documentation or reach out to our team.
