FM350 Filtamate® - Pressure Limiting Valve 1/2" in out
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.
Precision machined from high quality NZ brass
Integral dual check valves help prevent backflow Integral line strainer protects device and eliminates need for additional strainer to be fitted upstream. Filtamate resists water hammer and limits water pressure to filters thus avoiding costly water damage.

Do NOT apply heat near valve during installation
Must be fitted downstream of approved isolating valve
Must be installed in the direction as indicated by the flow arrow

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
Inlet: 15mm, 1/2" BSP (female)
Outlet: 1/4" John Guest connector
Length: 98mm
Flow Rate: 14 L/min at 700 kPa [100psi] inlet pressure
Check Valve: 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]).
