Product Description
The HTE55 1000KPA Pressure & Temperature Valve 15mm 1/2" is a safety valve designed to regulate the pressure and temperature within systems like hot water heaters, boilers, and HVAC units. It ensures that these systems operate safely by releasing excess pressure or temperature when levels exceed set limits, preventing system damage or failure.
Key Features:
-
Pressure Rating:
- 1000KPA pressure rating, which is ideal for systems that operate at a lower to medium pressure compared to higher-pressure valves like the 1400KPA models. It ensures the system doesn't exceed safe pressure levels, protecting both the equipment and users from over-pressurization.
-
Temperature Regulation:
- This valve not only controls pressure but also manages temperature to avoid overheating of systems like hot water heaters or boilers. When the temperature exceeds safe levels, the valve will open to release excess heat, helping maintain a safe operational temperature.
-
Connection Size:
- The valve features 15mm (1/2") connections, making it compatible with standard residential and industrial systems that use 15mm fittings for easy installation.
-
Safety Mechanism:
- When either pressure or temperature exceeds the set limits, the valve automatically opens to release excess pressure or heat. It resets itself after the pressure or temperature drops back below the set limits, ensuring continuous protection without the need for manual resetting.
-
Durable Construction:
- The valve is typically made of high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., brass), ensuring longevity even in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
Applications:
-
Hot Water Systems:
- Protects residential hot water systems (such as domestic water heaters) by releasing pressure and temperature if they become too high, preventing leaks or system failure.
-
Boilers and Heating Systems:
- Used in boilers to regulate both temperature and pressure. This is crucial for the safety of residential, commercial, or industrial heating systems, as pressure build-ups or overheating can cause severe damage or safety hazards.
-
HVAC Systems:
- Ideal for HVAC systems that involve pressurized systems, where both temperature and pressure need to be maintained within safe limits for efficient operation.
Advantages:
-
Safety:
- Automatically relieves excess pressure or temperature to prevent accidents, system failures, or damage to your equipment. It ensures the system operates safely within its designed limits.
-
Reliable Protection:
- The HTE55 1000KPA valve offers consistent and reliable protection in both residential and commercial applications, maintaining safe operational parameters.
-
Durability:
- Built to withstand the harsh conditions of high-pressure and high-temperature environments, making it durable and long-lasting.
-
Automatic Reset:
- The valve resets automatically when the pressure or temperature returns to safe levels, providing ongoing protection without manual intervention.
-
Easy Installation:
- The 15mm (1/2") size ensures it is compatible with many standard systems, making installation straightforward for both professional plumbers and DIYers.
Considerations:
Summary:
The HTE55 1000KPA Pressure & Temperature Valve 15mm 1/2" is a safety valve designed to regulate pressure and temperature in systems like hot water heaters, boilers, and HVAC units. It ensures safe operation by automatically relieving pressure or temperature when necessary. With a 1000KPA pressure rating and 15mm (1/2") connections, it is versatile, durable, and easy to install. It provides reliable protection against over-pressurization and overheating, safeguarding both equipment and users.
