CALEFFI 533565H High Performance 25mm Pressure Reduction Valve, 100-600kPa Adjustable

Overview

The Caleffi 533565H 25mm 1" inline high performance pressure reduction valve is made in Italy and Australia Watermark approved. The "H" in the model’s name indicates this is a high-performance version of pressure reduction valves in Caleffi ranges with a high temperature rating at 80°C and a high inlet pressure rating at 2000kPa 

The Caleffi 533565H pressure reduction valve features a pressure adjustment range of 100-600kPa with a factory setting at 500kPa. Caleffi is one of a rare few manufacturers in Australia offering pressure reduction valves that can adjust to a pressure setting as low as 100kPa, which is required for specialized applications.

The pressure reduction valves are commonly installed in residential plumbing works such as after water meters or just before entering houses. The pressure reduction valves can ensure a stable water supply pressure supply, despite the fluctuations in the mains water supply pressure from the streets. 

The pressure reduction valves can serve as a more reliable and versatile alternatives to more traditional pressure limiting valves, when used in hot water services such as electric, heat pump, gas storage and solar hot water heaters. The pressure reduction valve employs a membrane design with a stiff pre-loaded adjustable spring, opposed to a sliding piston mechanism found in a pressure limiting valve which often causes failures from clogging up. 

In real world installations, it is sometimes found that pressure limiting valves cannot limit pressures sufficiently in places where unusually high street mains pressures are present. This can cause troubles with ECV and PTR valves leaking on hot water services. The pressure reduction valves can be used in such situations and offer a far better pressure control from our in-field experiences over the years in our own plumbing jobs in Brisbane. 

The pressure reduction valve comes with a BSP 6mm test plug inbuilt, where an optional pressure gauge can be inserted for pressure measurement at the outlet. It must be noted that the pressure gauge is only intended to be used as a measurement tool and must be removed after use, as it could rust inside out if left in a wet environment for prolonged periods of time.
