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 104 Series Pressure Relief Valve 1" x 1.1/4" F x F 6 Bar - PREL104002
The PREL104002 Reliance Water Controls (RWC) 104 Series High Capacity Potable Water Pressure Relief Valve is designed to efficiently discharge excess water from the system when cold water over-pressurisation occurs in unvented cylinders. This high-flow valve is specifically engineered for larger capacity systems, ensuring superior performance and safety. The Reliance Valves 104 Series offers a robust solution for protecting unvented systems from over-pressurisation. Each valve is pre-set and securely locked to a specified pressure; should the system surpass this threshold, the valve will automatically lift, allowing water to discharge safely into the waste system. The outlet connection is designed to be one size larger than the inlet, ensuring that the valve can handle high-capacity discharges effectively. This valve serves as the primary safety device within an unvented system. Available in various pressure settings from 3.5 to 8 bar, as well as multiple connection sizes, it supports flexible installation options.
Features and Benefits:
- High-flow design ideal for larger capacity systems.
- Easy removal of the single-piece cartridge for cleaning or replacement.
- Innovative diaphragm design offers enhanced resistance to scale build-up.
- Effectively protects against over-pressurisation.
- Varied connection sizes for versatile installation.
- Set relief pressure range from 3.5 to 8.0 bar.
- Specifically designed for cold water applications only.
