Only qualified personnel must install, operate, or maintain the unit to avoid hazardous conditions.
What is the temperature rating for FKM seals?
Fluorocarbon (FKM) seals are rated from 20 to 248°F, but be aware that hot water is limited to 200°F/93°C.
How does the backpressure regulator operate?
It is direct-operated; it activates when the inlet pressure rises above the set pressure by overcoming a calibrated spring force.
What materials are used for the body and seals?
The body material is Carbon steel (WCB), while the diaphragm and sealing components are Fluorocarbon (FKM).
