Altecnic / Caleffi 253 Solar Series Pressure Safety Relief Valve 1/2

Altecnic / Caleffi 253 Solar Series Pressure Safety Relief Valve 1/2" x 3/4" F x F 3 Bar - 253043

The Altecnic / Caleffi 253 Solar Safety Valve - 253043 is designed to effectively manage pressure within the primary circuits of solar heating systems. This valve is selected based on the required set pressure. As system pressure increases, the valve will open upon reaching the designated discharge pressure, releasing excess pressure to the atmosphere. This mechanism prevents harmful pressure levels that could damage solar collectors and other components within the system.

Specifications

  • Size: 1/2" x 3/4"
  • Connections: BSP Female Inlet x BSP Female Outlet
  • Materials: Chrome-Plated Brass
  • Medium: Water, Glycol Solutions (Maximum Glycol Percentage: 50%)
  • Set Pressure: 3 Barg
  • Temperature Range: -30 to +160 °C

Reliance RWC TPR15 Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve 1/2

Reliance RWC TPR15 Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve 1/2" x 15mm 7 Bar - PTEM550854

The Reliance Water Controls (RWC) TPR15 Pressure and Temperature Relief Valves are compact yet robust solutions, expertly designed to safeguard against over-pressurisation in unvented hot water systems. These essential valves are specifically intended for installation at the upper section of a hot water cylinder, where the highest temperatures are typically encountered. In the event that the system temperature exceeds 95°C, the wax mixture within the temperature probe's element expands, lifting the valve off its seat to release water safely, thereby alleviating pressure within the cylinder. Furthermore, if water pressure escalates without a corresponding temperature rise, the valve remains shut until the predefined pressure of the relief mechanism is reached, at which point it will open to release excess pressure. Certain models feature a PTFE coating on the Male BSP inlet thread, facilitating a quicker and more efficient installation process. 

Features and Benefits:

  • Provides protection against temperatures exceeding 95°C
  • Prevents over-pressurisation of the system
  • Twist top cartridge design for straightforward servicing
  • Available with various pressure settings and probe lengths
  • Includes PTFE coating in select models

Specifications:

  • Size: 1/2" x 15mm
  • Connections: BSP Male Inlet x Compression Outlet
  • Materials: Brass
  • Medium: Hot water only
  • Set Pressure (Set & Locked): 7 Barg
  • Temperature Relief: +90 to 95°C
  • Discharge Capacity: 10 kW
  • Probe Length: 95mm
  • Product Code: PTEM550854
  • Notes: With PTFE, WRAS approved

Invest in the RWC TPR15 Pressure and Temperature Relief Valves for reliable performance and peace of mind in your hot water systems.
