Function

These hydraulic safety groups are used in domestic water systems to

protect hot water storage heaters.
They combine different components with the following functions:
- safety, to prevent the pressure of the medium in the storage heaters from
reaching dangerous levels
- anti-pollution, to prevent backflow of hot water into the cold water supply
network
- a shut-off function to isolate the supply network for maintenance and
inspection of the heater system.
The hydraulic safety groups, the installation of which is required by
applicable regulations, are certified as conforming to European
Standard EN 1487.

Connection to
European Standard EN 1487. discharge pipe:
- Ø 25 mm

Discharge tundish
The discharge tundish, located at the outlet of the safety valve, must
conform to the dimension requirements of standard EN 1487 and - Ø 32 mm
(glued)
discharge must occur without any spillage of water. To meet this
requirement the 319 series tundishes are fitted with special side
walls ① which catch any water spillage during discharge from the
safety relief valve and direct it to the drainage pipes.
