Aquaflow valves control hot-water costs

Aquaflow, valves, flow control
One of the features of Aquaflow Access valves is to control the flow of domestic hot water to reduce energy and water costs.

Aquaflow Access valves are available with a variety of regulators with different maximum flow rates to suit the needs of specific outlets — reducing the amount of hot water going to waste to cut fuel use and metered water costs. These regulators can also react to changes of pressure in a system so the same flow rate is maintained, reg­ardless of other water use in the system or its proximity to the source of supply. These valves also include a ballstop valve for servicing of outlets. A side service port provides access to the regulator without breaking the pipework or draining the system.

There are two versions of the Access valve.

The Original operates form 1 to 10 bar and has a choice of preset flow rates from 4 to 18 l/min.

The Universal provides accurate regulation from 0.2 to 6 bar, with preset flow rates from 2 to 14 l/min.
