All major parts can be replaced or re-sealed - a seal kit or a complete refurbishment kit is available. In most cases it is not necessary to remove the valve from the application during servicing.

The frequency of inspection and testing will vary depending on the nature of the workplace and the risks associated with the electrical equipment. The AS/NZS 3760 In service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment and RCDs, outlines inspection, testing, tagging methods and frequency.

The four-way mixing valve ESBE VRG 142 is made of dezincification resistant brass DZR. For easy manual operation the valves are equipped with non-slip knobs and end stops for an operation angle of 90°. The valve position scale can be turned over and rotated, allowing many different mounting positions. The scale located below the adjusting knob can be positioned arbitrarily along the heart of the mixing valve, depending on the valve orientation in the application.

The electrical safety in construction inspection checklist (PDF, 196.38 KB) has been developed for principal contractors and site supervisors to assist in complying with electrical requirements when onsite.

Electrical equipment must be regularly inspected and tested by a competent person to identify damage, wear and detect electrical faults.
