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.
