Altecnic / Caleffi 309 Series Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve 1/2" 90°C 10 Bar - 309400CST
The Altecnic / Caleffi 309 Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve - 309400CST is designed to effectively control and limit the temperature and pressure of hot water in domestic storage heaters. This essential safety valve ensures that water temperatures do not exceed 100°C, preventing steam formation. When the temperature or pressure reaches its set limits, the valve releases a sufficient amount of water into the atmosphere, ensuring that both temperature and pressure return to safe operating levels.
**How It Works:**
The valve features a thermostat compound within the temperature sensor that is submerged in the hot water storage heater. As the temperature increases, the compound expands, moving a thrust pin that activates the obturator, thereby opening the valve. This mechanism is set to initiate opening at temperatures exceeding 90°C. Regarding pressure, the obturator, which is countered by a spring, lifts when the pressure reaches its designated limit, fully opening the outlet. The pressure setting is predetermined based on the system's maximum permissible pressure. As the temperature and pressure decrease, the valve automatically re-closes within the specified tolerances.

Storm Valve
A marine storm valve is a specialised check valve designed for installation in a ship’s sewage or drainage systems. Its primary function is to prevent seawater from backflowing into the vessel, especially in heavy seas or when the ship is heeled. By serving as a barrier against flooding and contamination through overboard discharge pipes, marine storm valves play a crucial role in maritime safety.
Purpose of a Marine Storm Valve
- Prevents seawater ingress through overboard discharge openings.
- Facilitates the one-way flow of wastewater, bilge, or greywater out of the ship.
- Vital for sewage, greywater, and drainage systems located below the waterline.
We supply marine storm valves from a range of leading manufacturers. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Self Closing Valve
A marine self-closing valve is an essential component designed to automatically revert to a closed position after manual operation. These valves are extensively utilised on ships to prevent unintentional fluid discharge, enhance safety, and ensure adherence to pollution and fire prevention regulations.
What is a Marine Self-Closing Valve?
This type of valve features a spring-loaded mechanism that opens upon manual activation, typically via a lever or push button, and automatically closes once the operator releases it. In its default state, the valve remains closed, thereby preventing the unintended discharge of fluids such as fuel, oil, or bilge water.
We offer a comprehensive range of Self-Closing Valves from leading manufacturers. For further information or to discuss your specific requirements, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
