Overview

The AW PLV15C-600 15mm (1/2") 600kPa male compression PLV pressure limiting valve is commonly used to regulate the supply cold water pressure to hot water services including heat pumps, electric, gas storage and solar water heaters across all mainstream brands in Australia such as Rheem, Vulcan, Rinnal, Dux, Aquamax, Thermann, Apricus and Solahart. 

The AW PLV pressure limiting valve features the same threads, fitments and similar physical sizes with many other valve manufacturers such as Reliance, AVG, Tomson, Nefa and Reflex. This makes the AW PLV pressure limiting valve a perfect direct replacement to an existing valve with no plumbing pipe modifications required. When the compression nuts and the copper olives are removed, this PLV pressure limiting valve can be used as male threaded valves.

The PLV pressure limiting valves usually come in 350, 500 and 600kPa ratings under Australian Watermark standard regulations. Each pressure specification is used on specific plumbing applications, depending the pressure rating requirement of the appliances. The PLV pressure limiting valve regulates the inlet water pressure by employing a sliding piston design internally and creates a pressure drop as the water passes through the valve. This piston design is directional and therefore there is an arrow on each pressure limiting valve body indicating the water flow orientation.  

Engineer's Notes

When a PLV pressure limiting valve fails, it is usually caused by the corrosion and debris clogging-up inside the valve body, preventing the piston's sliding actions over its usage life spans. In most cases, the water pressure and flow rate can drop significantly causing an unsatisfying user experience. In less common scenarios, the opposite can also happen and the pressure limiting valve may lose its pressure limiting ability, potentially blowing up appliances with over pressures. 

A PLV pressure limiting valve can only limit the dynamic pressure of the passing inlet water. The valve can not regulate a static pressure increase inside a water heater when the water heats up and expands, where PTR and ECV valves must be used instead for the pressure relief.

The 600kPa is a nominal outlet pressure rating under Australian Watermark Standard testing condition with a set inlet pressure. In real world situations, the actual mains supply water pressure can fluctuate and vary greatly from locations to locations. This presents a challenge for many hot water heater installations, especially when the street's mains pressure is too high. In this scenario, the PLV pressure limiting valve may fail to limit the inlet pressure below the hot water tank's pressure rating requirement. The PTR and ECV valves of the hot water service can leak excessively or even in a continuous stream as consequences. In such situations, pressure reducing valves can be used in the places of the pressure limiting valves to address this problem. 

The compression nuts at the ends of the PLV pressure limiting valve are used to connect to the Australian standard 15mm 1/2"sized copper pipes, which are most common in the residential plumbing. The olives inside bite into the copper pipes to form a water tight seal when the cone nuts are tightened and no plumbing tapes should be used for compression type connections to maximize the biting force. 

When the compression end nuts and olives are removed, the the male threads are exposed underneath. The PLV pressure limiting valve can be used as a threaded valve to screw into fittings and other valves. During all threaded connections, plumbing tapes must be used between the male and female threads.

Black with flowers
Color: Black Flower
I purchased the black flowered version. Good size purse. I carry a lot of stuff and have plenty of room. I love the side pocket for my kindle. Seems to be well made I will revisit that at a later time as I am rough on purses. Stitching looks good. There was a smalls of the material that after leaving it sitting an unused room left. I think they could have left off the clutch bag and dropped the price a few dollars. Over all I am satisfied with my purchase.
