Altecnic / Caleffi 309 Series Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve 3/4" 90°C 7 Bar - 309570CST
The Altecnic / Caleffi 309 Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve - 309570CST is designed to effectively regulate and limit the temperature and pressure of hot water in domestic storage heaters. By preventing the water from exceeding 100°C and the formation of steam, this valve ensures safety and efficiency. Once the set parameters are reached, the valve expels an adequate amount of water into the atmosphere, allowing the temperature and pressure to return to safe operating limits. The mechanism of the valve operates as follows: - **Temperature Control**: The thermostat compound within the temperature sensor, which is submerged in hot water, expands as the temperature rises. This expansion drives a thrust pin that acts on the obturator, thereby opening the valve. The valve is calibrated to open when the temperature exceeds 90°C. - **Pressure Control**: When the pressure reaches the predetermined setting, the obturator, which is countered by a set spring, lifts and fully opens the outlet. The pressure setting is selected based on the maximum allowable pressure within the system. As temperature and pressure decrease, the valve automatically re-closes within the specified tolerances.

Reliance RWC 100 Series Pressure Relief Valve 3/4" x 1" F x F 3.5 Bar - PREL100015
Introducing the PREL100015 High Capacity Sealed Heating System Pressure Relief Valve, designed to efficiently discharge water from the system at a predetermined pressure during instances of overpressure in heating systems, particularly in larger capacity setups. The Reliance Valves 100 Series Pressure Relief Valves are expertly crafted from hot-pressed brass, making them ideal for safeguarding closed-circuit wet heating systems from excessive pressure build-up. Featuring an outlet that is one size larger than the inlet, this valve ensures optimal discharge flow rates. The design includes a separate seal seating from the diaphragm, enhancing scaling resistance, while the cover is made from OT58 brass for additional durability. The PREL100015 is available in a range of sizes to accommodate most installations and has a pressure range of 2.5 - 5.0 bar, with the specified response pressure clearly indicated on the twist cap. The appropriate valve size is determined based on the heat output of the boiler, as outlined in the maximum heating capacity table.
Features and Benefits:
- Designed for high flow rates, perfect for larger capacity systems.
- Outlet significantly larger than the inlet for superior discharge capabilities.
- Provides essential protection against overpressurisation in wet heating systems.
- Improved diaphragm design offers enhanced resistance to scaling.
- Cartridge design allows for easy servicing and replacement without the need to reset the response pressure.
- Adjustable set pressure range from 2.5 - 5.0 bar to fit any system requirement.
- High lift design increases discharge capacity when needed.
- Suitable exclusively for heating applications.

Niezgodka Type 18 Relief Valve
FSGGAG - Graphite Rupture Discs
The FSGGAG Graphite Rupture Discs are designed to be mounted on a stainless steel ring, enabling straightforward installation between flanges. This highly versatile rupture disc combines the mechanical strength of a steel holder with the exceptional properties of high-purity graphite. The graphite material is resistant to aggressive fluids and exhibits low sensitivity to temperature fluctuations in terms of bursting pressure. The disc offers a complete opening with fragmentation upon failure. It is recommended to use vacuum support for rupture pressures below 1.7 barg, while the discs are self-supporting at higher calibration settings.
