OPERATION

General information

- Regularly activate the safety valve to prevent
it from becoming blocked, e.g. by limescale
deposits.
- Install a type-tested safety valve in the cold water
supply line. Depending on the supply pressure,
you may also need a pressure reducing valve.
- Size the drain pipe so that water can drain off un-
impeded when the safety valve is fully opened.
- Fit the drain pipe of the safety valve with a con-
stant downward slope and in a room free from
the risk of frost.
- The safety valve drain must remain open to the
atmosphere.
