Reliance Low Pressure Expansion Control Valve 20mm - LV701

Model: LV701

Reliance Low Pressure Expansion Control Valve 20mm - LV701

Low Pressure Expansion Control Valves limit the maximum pressure in a pressurised unvented water heater system by relieving excess pressure to the drain line. The valve is a functional control this type of application.

Low Pressure Expansion Control Valves should only be installed on the cold or inlet installation on a water heater as the valve is primarily intended to cope with the excess pressure generated during a normal heating cycle.

RMC Low Pressure Expansion Control Valves are available in 15 mm and 20 mm confi gurations.  

  • Increased heating efficiency
    Releasing pressure at the inlet saves energy by not purging heated water
  • Auxiliary pressure relief device
    Use of an expansion control valve for pressure relief leaves the pressure and temperature relief valve to perform only a safety valve function.
  • Female BSP thread on outlet thread
    Prevents incorrect installation to the system
  • Sealed spring cavity
    Prevents spring from seizing in the event of calcification
  • Dezincification resistant
    Meets Australian Standard for potable water supply
  • Suitable for horizontal or vertical installation
    Valve designed to work effectively in either orientation

The RMC Low Pressure Expansion Control Valve range of relief valves are suitable for use on water heater inlets or for any application where expansion safeguards are necessary. RMC recommends installing an Low Pressure Expansion Control Valve as part of a complete inlet control system for water heater applications.
