Code 533550 AUS

3-way pressure reducing valve

Size 20 mm (3/4”)

Female connections (ISO 7/1)

Function

Pressure reducing valves are installed in residential water systems to reduce and stabilise inlet

pressure from the water mains supply which is generally too high and variable for domestic

appliances to function properly.

These valves can also be used to control inlet pressure to domestic hot

water storage. The Caleffi 5335 series have been specifically designed and

manufactured to meet the requirements of “AS1357.2:2005 Valves primarily

for use in warm and hot water systems - P. 2: Control valves”.

Installation

The pressure reducing valve must be installed by a licensed plumber and in accordance with AS/

NZS 3500, relevant local requirements and following these instructions.

The installer must:

- ensure the reducing valve is compatible with any other equipment in the system it may interact

with or come into contact with logistically;

- assess and acknowledge all hazards related to the use of the product, including leaks, by

installing the unit properly;

- install shut-off valves fitted with pressure ports or similar equipment to measure the upstream

pressure.

Recommendation for installation conditions

When installed upstream of a hot water tank, we recommend installing an expansion vessel or similar

equipment to absorb the increase in pressure due to the thermal expansion of the water.

When installed in large buildings, adopt technical measures such as using short pipes or including

expansion valves and similar equipment to limit the increased pressure due to the thermal expansion

of the water caused by temperature changes downstream of the reducing valve itself (or downstream

of the first and second stage reducing valves, if two are present).

Cavitation diagram

To minimize the risk of cavitation within the valve that may result in malfunctioning with erosion of

valve sealing area, vibrations and noise, it is highly recommended to refer to the working conditions

represented in the above diagram.

Due to the numerous factors and variable conditions experienced such as system pressure, water

temperature, air presence, flow rate and velocity, which may affect the behavior of the pressure

reducing valve, it is advisable that the pressure ratio between the upstream pressure and the

downstream set pressure is kept ideally to a value 2:1 and no greater than a value of 3:1. (For

example, upstream 1000 kPa, set pressure 500 kPa, the pressure ratio = 1000/500 = 2:1). In these

conditions, the possible risk of cavitation and malfunctioning is minimised, however this does not

exclude the possible effects of the many other variables within the system under operating conditions.

If the pressure ratio exceeds the indicated limit, the system design pressure or use of 1st stage

pressure reducing valves shall be reviewed. (For example, 1st stage reducing pressure from 1600 to

800 kPa and then 2nd stage from 800 to 400 kPa).

Pipework upstream and downstream of the pressure reducing valve shall be supported in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions, AS/NZS 3500 along with any other local authority requirements,

to avoid the creation and transfer of vibration and/or noise into the installation.

The inlet strainer of the pressure reducing valve shall be periodically checked and cleaned, to minimize

any partial or complete blockage which may limit the flow rate from the valve and/or create noise.

System flushing, cleaning and disinfection of the pipework to which the valve is installed shall be

performed by suitably qualified persons in accordance with the system component manufacturer’s

instructions, AS/NZS 3500 along with any other applicable local authority requirements. Exceeding

the maximum stated chemical concentrations and/or duration of exposure may negatively

impact on the performance of the system and/or components installed such as the pressure

reducing valve. Chemical dosed products must be chemically compatible with materials used for

the construction of the pressure reducing valve, specified in its technical documentation.

Installation below ground

If installing the 5335 series valve underground, please ensure that steps are taken to protect the

valve from becoming frozen in frost-prone areas.

Please allow yourself sufficient space to remove the cartridge should maintenance be required.

The reading of a gauge for setting purposes may be difficult and an alternate means of checking

downstream pressure may ne necessary.

Water hammering

This is one of the main problems which may affect pressure reducing valves. It is best to fit

special devices to absorb water hammering when fitting pressure reducing valves in systems at risk.

WARNING:

If it is critical to maintain the downstream pressure setting to protect equipment, as

a safety measure, we recommend that a pressure, or safety, relief valve is installed

downstream of the pressure reducing valve.

Setting

1. Flush the system.

2. Install the pressure reducing valve in any position either vertically or

horizontally, not upside down, paying attention to the “direction of flow”

indicator on the body of the valve.

3. Caleffi 5335 series pressure reducing valves are factory set at 500 kPa.

4. If required, reset the pressure by turning the screw on the top of

the plastic cover. Turn it clockwise to increase the pressure and

anticlockwise to decrease it.

Maintenance

The reducing valve must be checked and serviced in compliance with applicable regulations. Even

when installed, commissioned and serviced properly, the reducing valve’s internal components are

subject to normal wear and tear, which may result in leaks and other malfunctions. We advise that you

check that it is in good working order and service and clean the cartridge at least every 12 months.

Proceed as follows for periodic cleaning of the strainer and inspection of the cartridge:

1 Turn off upstream water supply to the pressure reducing valve and open an outlet downstream

to relief pressure

Safety

If the pressure reducing valve is not installed, commissioned and maintained properly in

accordance with the instructions contained in this manual, it may not operate correctly,

and may cause damage to objects and/or persons.

Make sure that all the connections are water-tight.

When installing the pressure reducing valve, make sure not to over-tighten the connections to the

valve as, over time, a failure can occur with subsequent water leakage causing damage.

In the case of highly aggressive water, arrangements must be made to treat the water before it enters

the pressure reducing valve, in accordance with current legislation. Otherwise, the pressure reducing

valve may be damaged and not function correctly.

Leave this operating manual with the user

2Unscrew (anticlockwise) the setting screw to decompress the spring inside.

3Unscrew the cover.

4Extract the cartridge with the aid of pincers to grip the head of the screw.

5 After inspection and cleaning, refit the cartridge or, alternatively, fit a replacement cartridge.

6 Reset the valve (see Installation).

Trouble-shooting

1. Increased downstream pressure near a water heater

This problem is due to the water being heated by the water heater. There is no relief of the pressure

because the

reducing valve is correctly closed.

The solution is to install an expansion

vessel (between the heater and the reducer) to

“absorb” the pressure increase.

2. The pressure reducing valve does not maintain its set pressure

In most cases this is the result of impurities that deposit on the valve seat causing leakage

with a resulting increase in pressure downstream. The solution is to fit a filter upstream from

the reducer and subsequently to maintain and clean the cartridge (see Maintenance).
