Zip Water AQ1 Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
- Safety relief valve
- For Zip heaters
- 5-100 litre models
- Max temp 90°C
- Max pressure 7 bar
The Zip AQ1 is an essential safety component for Zip's range of unvented water heaters. Installing this temperature and pressure relief valve protects against system over-pressure and overheating.
Critical protection against excess pressure
This valve serves as a critical pressure relief point. If pressure builds beyond the preset limit of 7 bar, the valve will open to release excess pressure. This protects the system from damage and potential explosion. The AQ1 is adjustable up to 7 bar and can be set to the optimal pressure relief point. Releasing pressure through the valve also protects connected plumbing and appliances. This pressure and temperature relief valve gives users peace of mind that their system is equipped with an important fail-safe against dangerous high pressure.
Guarding against excessive water temperature
In addition to its pressure relief capabilities, the AQ1 protects against excessively hot water. It can be adjusted to a maximum temperature setting of 90°C. If the water in the heater goes above this temperature, the valve will open to release hot water until the temperature drops to a safe level. This prevents scalding or burns from dangerously hot water. The AQ1 gives an added layer of protection compared to single-function pressure relief valves. With pressure and temperature monitoring, this valve provides comprehensive safety for Zip's unvented water heaters.
The Zip Water AQ1 temperature and pressure relief valve is a crucial safety component for unvented water heating systems. It is adjustable to the optimal settings and provides reliable protection against excess pressure and heat.
