- Page 6 Flow Check Valves The flow check valves are integrated inside the thermometer ball valves and have an opening pressure of 200 mm / 7 “ W.C. each. In order to fill, bleed or drain the system, the flow check valves need to be open. For this, you have to bring the handles of the ball valves into a 45°...
- Page 7 Solar Safety Valve The solar station is equipped with a Diaphragm safety pressure relief valve for solar heating systems. The following warnings have to be taken into consideration for the assembly and the operation. The safety valve has to be well accessible. The functioning of the valve may not be reduced or disabled by any barriers! The presence of dirt traps/strainers or other restrictions between the collector (field) and the safety valve are prohibited!
