Safety Valves

Safety Valves for Cylinders are essential components designed to protect unvented and sealed hot water cylinders from overpressure and overheating. By automatically releasing excess pressure or temperature, these valves safeguard cylinders, pipework, and heating systems, ensuring safe operation and compliance.

About Safety Valves

Safety valves are installed on hot water cylinders to provide automatic protection against pressure or temperature excursions. Typically spring-loaded or thermostatically controlled, they open to discharge water safely when set limits are exceeded. These valves are available in various sizes and pressure ratings, suitable for both domestic and commercial applications, and are compatible with most unvented cylinders.
