The Tesla UK Remote Fire Valve is an essential safety component for professional heating engineers and technicians working on unvented and heating systems. Its primary purpose is to safeguard hot water systems by automatically reacting to over-temperature conditions, providing a critical layer of protection against thermal runaway. While this device offers high-reliability safety, it is specifically designed for technical installation and should only be handled by qualified professionals familiar with OFTEC-approved plumbing practices.

This model is calibrated to trigger at 90degC.
This valve is typically used for oil-fired heating systems as specified by OFTEC standards.
The valve includes a 1.5-meter capillary tube.
Yes, it is approved to OFSE101:1998 standards.
No, shortening the tube will permanently damage the valve's functionality and safety calibration.
It utilizes a 3/8 inch BSP female connection.
Ensure the capillary tube is not kinked or crimped, as this blocks the transmission of thermal expansion.
Check that the BSP thread is properly sealed and the connection has not been overtightened, which may crack the fitting.
Verify that the sensor bulb is in direct contact with the pipe surface and not insulated by excessive pipe lagging.
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.
