Product Information

Full details

The Zilmet SC06004 is a 3-port pressure reducing valve designed for plumbing systems. It is ideal for installers and homeowners looking to protect appliances and pipework from excessive mains water pressure. A key benefit is its preset 3 bar output, ensuring consistent and safe water pressure. However, it is a preset valve and cannot be adjusted on-site.

FAQs

What is the preset output pressure of this valve?

The Zilmet SC06004 is preset to deliver a consistent output pressure of 3 bar.

Can I adjust the pressure output of this valve?

No, this is a preset valve and the 3 bar output cannot be adjusted.

What is the maximum inlet pressure this valve can handle?

The valve is designed to handle a maximum inlet pressure of 10 bar.

What is the temperature range for operation?

The valve can operate within a temperature range of -10°C to +99°C.

What size is the connection?

The valve features 22mm connections for both inlet and outlet.

How do I know if I need a pressure reducing valve?

If your incoming mains water pressure regularly exceeds 6 bar, a pressure reducing valve is recommended to protect your plumbing system and appliances.

Does this valve require maintenance?

As a sealed unit with a preset function, it requires no user maintenance. Periodic checks for external leaks are advised.

Troubleshooting

No water supply after installation

Check that the main water supply is turned on and that the valve is installed in the correct flow direction. Ensure all connections are secure and not blocked.

Low water pressure at outlets

Verify the inlet pressure is sufficient and the valve is correctly seated. Check for blockages in the system downstream of the valve. Ensure the valve itself is not the sole source of low pressure if the system has other restrictions.

Water hammer or noise from the valve

This can sometimes occur with rapid valve closure. Ensure pipes are adequately supported. If persistent, consult a plumber as it might indicate a system issue rather than a valve fault.

Leaking from connections

Tighten the relevant fittings. Ensure appropriate sealing tape or compound was used during installation and that the pipework is not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures consistent and safe water pressure.
  • Protects plumbing systems and appliances from over-pressurization.
  • Simple to install with standard 22mm connections.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Wide operating temperature range makes it versatile.

Cons

  • Preset pressure cannot be adjusted.
  • Requires professional installation for optimal performance.
  • Not suitable for systems requiring variable pressure settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Isolation: Ensure the main water supply to the property is turned off.
  2. Installation Point: The valve should be installed on the incoming mains water supply line, typically after the stopcock.
  3. Connection: Connect the 22mm inlet and outlet ports to the appropriate pipework using suitable fittings. Ensure the direction of flow arrow on the valve body is observed.
  4. Testing: Once installed, slowly turn the mains water supply back on and check for leaks. Test the system pressure downstream to confirm correct operation.

Compatibility:

  • The Zilmet SC06004 is compatible with standard 22mm copper or plastic plumbing pipework.
  • It is designed for potable water systems.
  • Maximum inlet pressure is 10 bar; ensure your mains supply does not exceed this.

Care:

  • This is a sealed unit and generally requires no user maintenance.
  • Periodically check for external leaks.
  • In hard water areas, scale build-up can occur over time. While the valve is designed to minimize this, consistent performance relies on overall system water quality. No internal cleaning is possible or recommended for this preset valve.
