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.
