Technical features
- Air-bleed and start-up valves require a minimum of 4 gpm (15 L/min.) flow rate and 80 psi (5,5 bar) system pressure.
- The valve will re-open when system pressure falls below 25 psi (1,7 bar)
- After air has been purged, closing times vary from approximately 12 seconds at 4 gpm (15 L/min.) to 0.5 seconds at 50 gpm 200 L/min.).
- Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
