The APEX FILTAMATE is a state of the art valve
incorporating pressure limiting and dual check functions.
Which is designed to limit downstream excess pressure on
Water Filters, Fridges with Ice Makers, Coffee Machines
etc. In addition the APEX FILTAMATE is also designed 
to inhibit downstream pressure build up by water hammer 

Installation

• Installation must be carried out by a Qualified Plumber
• All pipe work must be flushed prior to installation
• 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
• Must be protected by a line strainer - See Specifications tab
• 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 Filtamate 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 debarred before inserting into the cartridge.   

Tube Tolerances 

Imperial sizes: 1/4 - 1/2"                                              

Metric Sizes: 6 - 22mm

Tolerances: + 0.001/ - 0.004"                                

Tolerances: + 0.05/ - 0.10

Installation and System Testing

Products should be kept clean and undamaged before use.

All installations must be pressure tested after installation to ensure system

integrity before handing over to the final user. See also “Making a connection”.

Cleaners and Sanitising of Acetal Fittings.

The external surfaces of Apex Filtamate products must not come into contact

with oxidising or acidic cleaners and sanitising agents, for example (but not

limited to) those below pH 4, high in sodium hypochlorite level (bleach) or

containing hydrogen peroxide. Our plastic material suppliers recommend

ECOLAB Oasis 133 as a suitable cleaner for the external surfaces of acetal

products manufactured by Apex Filtamate.

Several different methods exist for sanitising the internal surfaces of fluid

systems, including sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide

or ozone. It is entirely the responsibility of the end user to determine if the

chosen method is suitable for use with John Guest products over the planned

working life of the system. However, to avoid unnecessary early failure, John

Guest requires that the disinfection solution must be immediately flushed outat all draw off points with fresh, wholesome water at the end of the disinfectionperiod. The solution must not be left in the system. Disinfection solutionsmust only come into contact with the internal (fluid carrying) surfaces of thesystem. If any other surfaces of a fitting come into contact with disinfectionsolution, the whole fitting must be replaced immediately.Details of whichproducts are made from Acetal are shown in our catalogues but generally Polypropylene fittings offer greater resistance

to aggressive chemicals than Acetal fittings. Polypropylene does not have the

same mechanical properties as Acetal.

Product Design

Apex Filtamate Valves has a policy of continuous research and development and reserves the right to amend without notice the specification and design of all products. Product descriptions and sizes are approximate and Apex Filtamate reserves the right to supply products which may have minor and negligible deviations from that printed in catalogues etc. (or from products previously supplied).

Warranty

Whilst we give a warranty against defects in manufacture or materials, it is

the responsibility of the specifier to ensure that fittings and related products

are suitable for their application. The installation must be carried out correctlyin accordance with our recommendations, complying with recognised codesof practice and relevant national standards, and be properly maintained.

Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale.

Side Loads

Apex Filtamate products are not designed to be used under side load as this

may adversely affect their ability to function long-term. Always ensure tubes

have good alignment with the fitting. They must also not be subjected to any

form of impact or other damage, such as being hit or dropped, even

accidently. If fittings have damaged or suffered an impact, they should be

replaced immediately. Apex Filtamate warranty does not cover loss caused by any form  of  damage
