Product Description
The HT55 850KPA Pressure & Temperature Valve 15mm 1/2" is a specialized valve designed to protect heating, water, and other pressurized systems by controlling both pressure and temperature. This type of valve ensures that systems do not exceed safe operational limits, preventing damage from overpressure or overheating.
Key Features:
-
Pressure Rating:
- The 850KPA pressure rating is specifically designed for moderate pressure systems. It helps to manage and regulate pressure to avoid system failure or component damage when the pressure rises beyond acceptable limits.
-
Temperature Control:
- The valve also monitors and controls temperature. If the temperature exceeds safe operating limits, it will help release excess heat, maintaining the system's safety and longevity.
-
15mm (1/2") Size:
- The valve has a 15mm (1/2") connection size, making it compatible with standard plumbing and heating systems. It can easily be integrated into most water heating, HVAC, or plumbing systems with a 1/2" thread.
-
Durable Construction:
- Made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials (typically brass or similar alloys), the valve is built to withstand exposure to water, heat, and pressure over extended periods. This ensures long-term reliability and reduces the risk of leaks or corrosion over time.
-
Safety Feature:
- It acts as a safety valve, automatically releasing pressure or temperature when levels exceed the preset safe thresholds. This prevents system overpressure and avoids thermal damage, making it essential in hot water systems, boilers, or any pressurized systems.
-
Versatile Applications:
- Suitable for domestic water heaters, boilers, HVAC systems, and other pressurized systems. It can also be used in industrial applications where moderate pressure regulation is needed.
-
Installation:
- The 15mm (1/2") connection size ensures compatibility with most residential and light commercial plumbing or heating systems. The valve is relatively easy to install, often requiring simple threading and sealing to ensure a secure fit.
Applications:
- Residential Hot Water Systems: Commonly used in water heaters to regulate pressure and temperature, preventing scalding or system damage.
- Boilers and Heating Systems: Ensures that heating systems do not exceed temperature or pressure limits, protecting critical components from overheating.
- HVAC Systems: Used to maintain proper pressure and temperature balance, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
- Industrial Equipment: Suitable for moderate-pressure industrial systems requiring precise temperature and pressure management.
Advantages:
- Pressure and Temperature Protection: Automatically regulates pressure and temperature, protecting the system from damaging levels of heat or pressure.
- Durability: The corrosion-resistant materials ensure a longer lifespan, reducing the frequency of replacement.
- Safety: Provides a critical safety function in any system exposed to heat or pressure, helping to avoid dangerous situations like ruptured pipes or overheating equipment.
- Ease of Installation: The 15mm (1/2") threaded fitting ensures easy integration with most standard plumbing and heating systems.
- Versatility: Suitable for various systems, including residential, commercial, and industrial applications, where moderate pressure control is necessary.
Considerations:
- Pressure Compatibility: This valve is rated for 850KPA (850 kilopascals), so make sure it matches the pressure requirements of your system. It is ideal for moderate-pressure systems, but not suitable for systems that operate at very high pressures.
- Maintenance: As with all safety valves, periodic inspection and maintenance are crucial. Make sure to check for any signs of wear or corrosion, particularly in areas with fluctuating temperatures and pressures.
Summary:
The HT55 850KPA Pressure & Temperature Valve 15mm 1/2" is an essential component for maintaining the safety and functionality of moderate-pressure systems, including hot water systems, heating systems, and HVAC systems. With its 850KPA pressure rating and 15mm connection, it helps prevent overpressure and overheating, ensuring the system operates within safe parameters. Its durable construction and versatility make it a reliable choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.
