FiltaMate - Pressure Limiting Valves
|
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.
Features/Benefits
-
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.

Complies with NZ Building Code G12 (2001)
-
Complies with NZS 4608:1992
-
Australian Watermark Approval AS1357.2 Lic. 02596
-

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.
