Demand Valve Assembly Automatic compensation for supply gas pressure changes and ambient pressure. |
Standard pressure. Valve responds at ambient pressure minus 5-mm water gauge. This unit can be fitted with “off” switch; useful if the valve is used as a spare |
Fully balanced downstream valve with built in pressure relief and safety purge design. Work of Breathing less than 1 Joule/litre, response time less than 30 milliseconds |
