IGB INOX 6 bar DHW safety group 3/4" (without air vent) – protection for domestic hot water systems
The IBO IGB INOX 6 bar DHW safety group is a compact stainless steel module that protects domestic hot water systems from excessive pressure and allows an expansion vessel to be installed. The safety valve opens at 6 bar. This version does not include an automatic air vent, making it suitable for domestic hot water systems operating at mains pressure.
Who it’s for
-
Water and DHW system installers – the complete module, with a safety valve, pressure gauge, and 3/4" service valve, speeds up installation of domestic hot water system protection.
-
Owners of DHW heaters and storage tanks – the safety valve, set to 6 bar, protects the system from pressure increases while water is being heated.
-
Domestic hot water systems operating at mains pressure – the absence of an automatic air vent is suitable for systems that do not require automatic venting.
-
Maintenance technicians – the service valve and integrated pressure gauge make it easier to monitor pressure and carry out maintenance without adding extra components to the system.
Applications
The IGB INOX 6 bar DHW safety group protects domestic hot water systems from exceeding the permissible pressure and allows an expansion vessel to be installed. The safety valve opens at 6 bar, discharging excess water if pressure rises while the water is being heated.
It is used in systems with domestic hot water heaters and storage tanks featuring a 3/4" connection. The IGB INOX 6 bar DHW safety group is wall-mounted using the mounting rail, close to the appliance being protected.
Features of the IGB INOX 6 bar DHW safety group – description and technical specifications
The module body is made of INOX stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant in domestic water systems. The module integrates a safety valve set to 6 bar, a pressure gauge for monitoring pressure, and a service valve, reducing the number of connections and simplifying installation. This version does not include an automatic air vent – one is not required in domestic hot water systems operating at mains pressure.
The body has a mounting rail for wall installation and is compatible with expansion vessels up to 320 mm in diameter. The group operates at temperatures up to 90°C, and the integrated pressure gauge, with a 0–4 / 10 bar scale, allows ongoing pressure monitoring. The safety valve setting (6 bar) must match the permissible pressure of the domestic hot water heater or storage tank being protected.
