FAQs

What is the trigger temperature for this valve?

This model is calibrated to trigger at 90degC.

Can I install this on a gas boiler?

This valve is typically used for oil-fired heating systems as specified by OFTEC standards.

What is the length of the capillary tube?

The valve includes a 1.5-meter capillary tube.

Is this valve OFTEC approved?

Yes, it is approved to OFSE101:1998 standards.

Can I shorten the capillary tube?

No, shortening the tube will permanently damage the valve's functionality and safety calibration.

What connection size does it use?

It utilizes a 3/8 inch BSP female connection.

Troubleshooting

Valve fails to activate during testing

Ensure the capillary tube is not kinked or crimped, as this blocks the transmission of thermal expansion.

Leakage at the connection point

Check that the BSP thread is properly sealed and the connection has not been overtightened, which may crack the fitting.

Sensor sensitivity seems slow

Verify that the sensor bulb is in direct contact with the pipe surface and not insulated by excessive pipe lagging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets stringent OFSE101:1998 industry safety standards
  • ISO 9001 certified manufacturing ensures high build quality
  • Versatile 1.5m capillary range for convenient remote installation
  • Essential for compliance in unvented and heating system servicing

Cons

  • Requires professional installation by a qualified engineer
  • Not suitable for DIY home repairs due to safety implications
  • Fixed activation temperature may not suit all specialized industrial applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be conducted by a certified heating engineer. Before fitting the valve, ensure the system is depressurized and cooled. The 3/8 inch BSP female threads should be sealed using approved plumbing compounds or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-free connection. When routing the 1.5m capillary line, avoid sharp bends or kinks, as this can affect the internal mechanism's ability to trigger correctly. For long-term care, include the valve in your annual system check-up, inspecting the capillary line for signs of corrosion or physical damage. Never attempt to disassemble the valve housing, as this will compromise the calibration and safety rating.
