According to the provisions of R regulations Ed. 2009, the technical specification for the application of Title II of Italian Ministerial

Decree 1/12/75 pursuant to art. 26 of the said decree concerning "central heating systems using pressurised hot water at a

temperature not exceeding 110°C and maximum overall rated power of the space heaters (or maximum overall heat output

of the space heaters) greater than 35 kW", the use of fuel shut-off valves is required in the following cases: systems with

closed expansion vessel (CHAP. R.3.B., point 1., letter b); closed-vessel systems with heat exchangers supplied with fluids

at temperatures exceeding 110°C to the primary circuit (CHAP. R.3.D., point 2.2.1., letter g); - systems with modular boilers

(Chap. R.3.F.).

Approved to “R” regulations (2009 edition). Calibration certificate issued by lNAIL.

In certain cases, INAIL regulations (R regulations, 2009 Edition) governing systems with boilers with heat output exceeding

35kW, require the use of a fuel shut-off valve in place of a thermal drain valve. They define a "fuel shut-off valve" as: “a positive-

action valve, which automatically shuts off the flow of fuel if the water overheats, so that it does not exceed the established

safety temperature”. The fuel shut-off valve is a self-operated positive-safety device (operating without the use of external

energy).

When the setpoint temperature is reached, the heat-sensitive element (4) causes the grooved piston supporting the stem with

integral disc (2) to move, causing the stem to drop, thus closing the valve. Valve closing is not gradual: the valve snaps shut

when the setpoint temperature is reached, so the fuel flow is not throttled. It is not possible to reset the valve until the water

temperature has fallen below 85°C.

5) Valve body

6) Sheath

Install the fuel shut-off valve on the fuel supply pipe between the filter and the burner, in the direction shown by the arrow cast

into the valve body. The valve's heat-sensitive element “must be immersed in the outward flow of hot water, close to or at the

top of the boiler, or in the outlet pipe within 1m of the boiler, upstream of any shut-off device” (R.2.A.4.2) (Fig.1). Weld the sheath

sleeve so that the sheath is immersed as fully as possible in the hot water, in one of the positions specified above. Depending

on the diameter of the pipe, the sleeve can be welded perpendicular or at an inclined angle in relation to the pipe (Fig.2) or on

a bend where possible (Fig.3).

To reset the valve, proceed as follows:

A) Release the black protective cap;

B) Pull the green reset knob up;

A) Re-engage the black protective cap.

To make sure the valve is open, check that the green reset knob appears in the top inspection window on the protective cap.

To fit the NVFN Series fuel shut-off valve, proceed as follows:

1. Screw the sheath of the heat-sensitive element onto the sleeve;

2. Insert the bulb of the heat-sensitive element fully into the sheath;

3. Connect the valve to the burner supply pipe in accordance with the direction of flow shown on the valve body;

4. Carefully unroll the copper capillary, making sure that it is not resting on hot parts or the boiler

doors;

5. Push the plastic protective bushing on the end of the capillary into the sheath, then tighten the screw on the hexagonal

head of the sheath.

N.B. You can turn the control device on the cap through 360° to make it easier to fit the valve and lay out the capillary.
