APO 350kPa Caravan RV Pressure Limiting Valve With External Check Valve
Overview
The APO caravan RV 350kPa pressure limiting valve with the AW SP15 external check valve assembly eliminates the tiny inbuilt check valve in most caravan set up, which is the root cause for flow rate restriction and clogging up over time leading to failures. This caravan pressure limiting valve assembly works for all popular makes in Australia such as Jayco, New Age, Lotus, Kedron and Etc. The APO pressure limiting valve is Australian Watermark Approved and made with lead free LF brass.
Optional John Guest compatible 12mm push fittings can be selected to replace your old worn out fittings. A suitable hose cutter should be used to keep the hose cut section perfectly round for the new connection.
The APO PLV pressure limiting valve regulates the inlet water pressure by employing a sliding piston design internally and creates a pressure drop as the water passes through the valve. This piston design is directional and therefore there is an arrow on each pressure limiting valve body indicating the water flow orientation.
The AW SP15 check valve specified here features a full bore spring load design, whcih maximizes the flow rate in this valve assembly. The individual parts can be easily take apart for servicing and cleaning. Each component can be replaced cheaply with any plumbing supply shops or even Bunnings, because no more special inbuilt check valve.
