Product Description
The Tube and Bellows 38° Suit SIT Valve is a component typically used in gas appliances, particularly in systems that utilize SIT (Società Italiana Tubi) valves. These valves are commonly found in gas cookers, ovens, heating systems, and other gas-powered equipment.
Key Features of Tube and Bellows 38° Suit SIT Valve:
-
Functionality:
- The tube and bellows system is designed to connect the SIT valve to the gas control system, allowing for the precise flow of gas and efficient operation of the appliance. The bellows can expand and contract to accommodate changes in pressure or temperature, ensuring the SIT valve operates smoothly.
-
Angle (38°):
- The 38° angle refers to the specific angle at which the tube and bellows are designed to fit or attach to the SIT valve. This angle ensures a correct and secure connection, allowing the gas flow to be controlled properly within the appliance.
-
Bellows Design:
- Bellows are typically made of flexible metal or rubber and are used to absorb any expansion or contraction caused by temperature changes. They help maintain the integrity of the gas system by preventing leaks or damage due to fluctuating pressures.
- The bellows also act as a safety feature, ensuring the flow of gas is regulated correctly and safely, preventing issues like over-pressurization.
-
Material:
- The tube is usually made of a durable, flexible material that can withstand the high pressures and temperatures in gas-powered appliances.
- The bellows may be constructed from stainless steel or other heat-resistant materials to ensure durability and resistance to wear and tear over time.
-
Suitability:
- This 38° tube and bellows are designed to be used specifically with SIT valves, making them compatible with many gas appliances that rely on SIT valve systems for temperature and pressure regulation.
Applications:
- Gas Appliances: The tube and bellows system is often used in gas cookers, ovens, heaters, and other similar appliances where SIT valves are present.
- Pressure Regulation: This component is essential for maintaining proper pressure and safe operation in gas systems.
- Commercial & Domestic Use: It can be used in both domestic and commercial gas appliances, such as restaurants, kitchens, or industrial heating systems.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement:
-
Gas Leaks: If you notice a gas leak near the valve or tube connection, the bellows or tube may have become damaged, worn, or cracked.
-
Pressure Issues: If the appliance is experiencing pressure fluctuations or failing to maintain the correct gas flow, the bellows or tube could be malfunctioning.
-
Increased Wear: Over time, the bellows may lose their flexibility or become cracked due to repeated expansion and contraction, requiring replacement to prevent gas system failure.
