Excess Flow Valves with a nominal gas flow rate of 4m³/hr in 20 and 25mm.
Excess Flow Valves are installed into systems that use non-metal pipes, in order to make them safe against the risk of explosion due to fire. They protect the system and guarantee safety against:
– tampering by unauthorised personnel
– breakage/disconnection of hoses for gas appliances
– breakage of pipes due to natural disasters
Excess Flow Valves are maintenance free and cannot be disabled by an external action. They can handle inlet pressures from 1.5kpa to 10kpa and are designed to shut of at 1.3 to 1.45 times the total flow rate of the pipeline they are installed into.
Please note that Excess Flow Valves are Directional, and must be mounted as per their specification.
The two options include:
– Vertical Up and Horizontal
– Vertical Down
Excess Flow Valves can only be installed outside.
