Builders Geyser Installation Kit 600 KPA

Ensure your high-pressure geyser is installed safely and is compliant with national standards (SABS) using the Builders 600kPa Pressure Control Valve (PCV) Kit. This essential geyser accessory pack is designed to manage and stabilize the incoming cold water supply pressure at 600kPa, preventing over-pressurization that could damage your geyser. The kit includes two vacuum breakers, which are crucial for stopping water from siphoning out of the geyser when the cold water supply is interrupted. With a 22mm Copper x Copper (CxC) compression fitting size, this pack is compatible with most standard high-pressure domestic geyser installations.

Top 3 FAQs

1. Is this kit SABS approved? Yes, this kit is SABS Approved, ensuring it meets all South African national standards for geyser safety and installation.

2. What is the difference between a PCV and a Safety Valve? The PCV (Pressure Control Valve) controls the incoming water pressure to prevent damage. The Safety Valve (or Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve) releases water out of the geyser if the temperature or pressure inside the tank becomes dangerously high. Both are required for installation.

3. Why do I need the two vacuum breakers? Vacuum breakers are necessary to prevent the geyser from creating a vacuum (negative pressure) inside its tank if the cold water supply is shut off (e.g., during maintenance or a pipe burst). A vacuum could cause the geyser's inner cylinder to collapse. You need one on the hot water outlet and one on the cold water inlet.
