A Wells certified Apex Filtamate Pressure Limiting Valve (PLV) rated to 350KPA with 1/4" tube ports is a must for any under bench water filter system. Not having one installed could mean that if you ever did have to claim insurance on damage caused by a burst water filter system may be denied due to the lack of Certified pressure limiting protection installed.
All complete under bench water filtration systems sold by URWater include either a 350KPA or 600KPA pressure limiting valve to protect the water filter system from extreme water pressure events which could occur in the town water pipes. If your system does not already have a PLV then you should
Integral dual check valves help prevent backflow
FiltaMate resists water hammer and limits water pressure to filters thus avoiding costly water damage.
FMP supplied with fixing clip and screw.

Warranty is limited to any fault found in a valve due to poor workmanship or materials that is returned to Apex Valves Ltd within 2 years from the date of manufacture
If thermal expansion (due to heating or cooling) or back pressure can occur downstream, an expansion valve must be fitted to relieve the excess pressure build up
Plastic tube: Polyethylene, Nylon and Polyurethane conforming to the tolerances shown below. Do not use soft or thin walled pipe. It is essential that the outside diameter is free from score marks and that the tube be deburred before inserting into the cartridge.
Pressure Ratio - 10:1 (for every 10 kPa [1.5psi] increase in inlet pressure above 1000 kPa [150psi], the outlet pressure will increase by 1 kPa [0.145psi]).
Outlet Pressures - 350 and 600 kPa [50, 60 and 85psi] +/- 10% @ 1000 kPa
