Philmac foot and non-return valves have been successfully servicing the Australian market for more than 20 years with a reputation for quality and reliability. Now available in a new and improved format, the new model retains all of the benefits of the previous model, but with further improvements including the flow rate of water through the valve.
Benefits:
• Multi-position Installation: The valves have been designed to work in either a vertical (with water moving in an upwards direction) or horizontal position for flexible installation.
• Corrosion Resistant: with a plastic body and components, nitrile O-rings and a 316 stainless steel spring, all components are made from high quality corrosion resistant materials.
• High pressure rating: Foot and nonreturn valves are rated to a pressure of 1400 kPa (200 psi) (static shutoff) at 200 Celsius to meet the requirements of high pressure systems.
• Low pressure shutoff: Foot and nonreturn valves are designed to seal off at 20 kPa of pressure making them well suited to gravity feed systems.
• Flow Identification: The body is clearly marked with an arrow to indicate the direction of flow of water
• Reliable Operation: Consistent high quality injection moulded plastic bodies and components plus Nitrile O-rings and a stainless steel spring means years of reliable operation.
• Manufactured from advanced thermoplastic materials: Philmac foot and non-return valves are manufactured
from lightweight high performance thermoplastic materials, which have excellent impact, UV and corrosion resistance. The material is non-toxic and taint free.
System Design Considerations
•Minimum Sealing Pressure: 20 kPa (3 psi) or 2 m or 0.2 bar of head at 200C.
•Maximum Operating Pressure: 1400 kPa (200 psi) at 200C.
•Threads: All threads are BSP (Whitworth form).
•Sealing threads: Philmac recommends sealing threads with PTFE tape. Other approved sealants for plastic materials can be used providing the sealant does not enter the valve where it may cause damage.
•Operating temperature: Connection is cold water (less than 200C) rated.
•Weathering: All plastic materials used contain pigments to provide excellent protection against degradation from ultra-violet (UV) radiation. However long-term continuous exposure to UV is not recommended and plastic components should ideally be protected.
