i) The product has been specifically designed for use on steam, compressed air and water/
condensate which are in Group 2 of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive.
ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and minimum values.
If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than those of the system in which it
is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product could result in a dangerous overpressure or
overtemperature occurrence, ensure a safety device is included in the system to prevent such
over-limit situations.
iii) A number of products are supplied for the intention of the end user (or agent thereof) modifying
