Automatic filling valve for installations FAM with manometer 42406

Automatic heating system filling valve

This valve, catalog number 42406, is a reliable solution for automatically replenishing water in heating systems. Its design combines the functions of a pressure reducer, check valve, and shut-off valve, ensuring safe and efficient system operation. The built-in manometer allows for precise control of pressure in the installation.

The FAM valve is designed for both open and closed systems, making it a universal element of every heating system. Installation at the lowest point of the system guarantees even filling.

Construction and application

The valve is made of durable brass, ensuring its longevity and corrosion resistance. It has an internal BSPP-G (ISO 228-1) threaded connection with a diameter of 1/2 inch and a fixed hose nozzle also with a diameter of 1/2 inch. This makes it easy to integrate with existing hydraulic infrastructure.

The application of the FAM valve is primarily to automatically maintain the appropriate pressure in the heating system, which translates to stable operation of the entire system and minimizes the risk of failure. The manometer with a measuring range of 0-4 bar allows for continuous monitoring of the system status and reaction to any changes.

Key features and benefits

• Automatic filling: Eliminates the need to manually replenish water in the installation, saving time and effort.
• Built-in manometer: Enables precise pressure control, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the heating system.
• Pressure reducer: Protects the installation from excessive pressure, preventing damage to system components.
• Check valve: Prevents backflow of water from the installation to the water supply network, maintaining the cleanliness of the heating medium.
• Shut-off valve: Allows easy isolation of the valve from the installation for maintenance or repair.
• Durable construction: The brass body ensures long-lasting and reliable operation even in difficult operating conditions.
• Wide temperature range: The ability to operate at a medium temperature of up to 90°C makes the valve compatible with various types of heating systems.
• Maximum working pressure: Up to 10 bar at 20°C ensures safe use.

The FAM valve is a solid and functional device that significantly facilitates the operation of heating systems for both professional installers and end users. Its installation is simple and intuitive, and its reliability guarantees long-term and trouble-free use.
