sure always lies under the opening pressure of the overflow valve.
The overflow valve is offered as a circulation valve (figure left) or as a non-return valve (figure right).
Notice

A function test of the overflow valve at least every 5 years is essential for the safe operation
Ä
o
Scope and if necessary shorter test intervals must be specified by the operator-owner in accord-
ance with the requirements and national provisions (for example Austrian Ordinance of Safety and
Health (BetrSichV)).
