A pressure relief valve is a safety device designed to protect your boiler and heating system from damage caused by excessive water pressure. It automatically releases water when the pressure exceeds a safe limit.
This valve is compatible with specific Remeha Avanta models listed in the product description. Always check your boiler's model number. If unsure, contact the Hanicks Tech Team with your boiler's GC number.
Installation of boiler components, especially safety devices like pressure relief valves, should only be carried out by a qualified and Gas Safe registered (or equivalent) heating engineer to ensure safety and proper function.
It means that this Hanicks part (720481601) is the updated or replacement version for the older part number S62763. They are functionally equivalent for the specified models.
While the valve is a passive safety device, it's recommended to have your boiler serviced annually by a professional, who will typically test the relief valve's function.
A constant leak suggests an issue. It could be debris in the valve, a worn seal, or the system pressure is too high. Check your boiler's pressure gauge. If pressure is normal, the valve likely needs replacing by a qualified engineer.
This could indicate a worn valve seat, debris preventing a proper seal, or a system pressure that is consistently too high. Check system pressure; if normal, the valve may need replacement. Ensure the discharge pipe is clear.
While the relief valve will discharge water, persistently high pressure often points to a problem with the expansion vessel or a system fault. Consult a qualified engineer to diagnose the root cause.
The valve may be seized or blocked. This is a critical safety failure. Immediately turn off the boiler and contact a qualified heating engineer for urgent replacement.

Care:
Pressure relief valves are passive safety devices and do not require regular user maintenance. However, it is advisable to have your boiler serviced annually by a qualified engineer. During a service, the engineer may test the pressure relief valve to ensure it is functioning correctly. Ensure the discharge pipe is not blocked to allow for safe venting.
