While our focus is on optimising safety for occupants and maintenance personnel, it's essential to note that specific regulations govern the placement and discharge of PTR valves. These regulations dictate where discharged water should drain and the types of surfaces it can safely drain onto. While we prioritise safety, other aspects of building code compliance, such as drainage configurations, fall outside our scope.

This 1 1/4 inch lead free high performance water pressure reducing valve with a lead free cast copper silicon alloy body is designed to reduce incoming water pressure to protect plumbing systems and reduce water consumption for commercial, industrial and residential applications. The easy maintenance assembly consists of a replaceable seat module and a bypass feature to control thermal expansion pressure. The connection is NPT female union x NPT female. The temperature range is 33 to 160 degrees F (0.5 to 71 degrees C). Suitable for up to 300 psi (20.7 bar), the pressure range can be adjusted from 25 to 75 psi (172 to 517 kPa) with the standard setting at 50 psi (345 kPa).

Proper placement of the PTR line is critical for safeguarding occupants and maintenance personnel. Since the valve can release boiling water unexpectedly, proximity to individuals during troubleshooting or maintenance poses a burn hazard. Ensuring the PTR valve is positioned away from high-traffic areas or areas where occupants may inadvertently come into contact with the discharged water is paramount for safety.

A Pressure Temperature Relief (PTR) valve, also known as a TPR valve, is a crucial safety component installed on hot water systems. Positioned externally, it contains a sensor probe within the hot water tank, designed to respond to rising temperatures. In the event of a malfunction causing overheating, the valve expands, allowing water to escape. This action alleviates excess pressure within the system, preventing potential catastrophic failures.
