Apex FiltaMate Pressure Limiting Valve 350kPa - FM12 350
POA
Model: FM12 350
FM12 350 - 350 kPa Brass/Plastic without Check Valve
Application:
- High pressure systems to protect downstream components, e.g. Water filters, drink dispensers, ice makers, coffee machines and reverse osmosis machines.
- Mobile homes and caravans where a connection is available to mains water.
Standards:
- Complies with NZ Building Code G12 (2001)
- Complies with NZS 4608:1992
- Australian Watermark Approval AS1357.2 Lic. 02596
- Australian Watermark Approval AS2845.1 Lic. 21876 (FM, FM 1/2 only)
- FM & FM 1/2 are precision machined from high quality NZ brass. FM valve is nickel plated.
- Integral dual check valves help prevent backflow (Not included all models - see specifications and product codes below).
- Integral line strainer protects device and eliminates need for additional strainer to be fitted upstream. (Not included all models - see specifications and product codes below).
- FiltaMate resists water hammer and limits water pressure to filters thus avoiding costly water damage.
Installation:
- Installation must be carried out by a Qualified Person.
- All pipe work must be flushed prior to installation.
- Do NOT apply heat near valve during installation.
- Must be fitted downstream of approved isolating valves.
- Must be installed in the direction as indicated by the flow arrow.
- Must be protected by a line strainer (See specifications and product codes for valves with integral line strainer).
- Must be installed according to local regulations.
- May be fitted in any orientation.
- Warranty is limited to any fault found in a valve due to poor workmanship or materials that is returned to Apex Valves Ltd within 1 year from the date of manufacture.
- If thermal expansion (due to heating, cooling) or back pressure can occur downstream, an expansion valve must be fitted to relieve the excessive pressure build up.
Servicing:
The FiltaMate valve opens and closes automatically every time water is drawn through it. As it is a mechanical device we recommend that it is replaced every 5 years or sooner in high usage installations.
