SSV 8500
(for RB 4700 models with integrated SSV 8500)
Operating principle of the shut-off valve
The shut-off device is a safety device that goes off when
the pressure value in the downstream pipe increases or
decreases beyond the prefixed calibration values, cut-
ting automatically the flow of the gas
Shut-off valve with screw reset
These device consists of a valve body 10, a control head,
a diaphragm assembly 4 - 15 and a stem –valve plug as-
sembly 12 – 18, which remain in a balanced position
through a mechanical ball system The shut-off valve is
triggered when the pressure value in the control cham-
ber 5, that from the downstream pipe flow into this
30
chamber through the impulse intake 14, increases or
decreases beyond the established pressure values, thus
moving from its balancing position the diaphragm as-
sembly 4 – 15 The stem 18 connected to the valve plug
12 triggers under the force of the spring 13, coming im-
mediately into contact with the valve 8 cutting auto-
matically the flow of the gas
NOTE: The schematic section refers to a safety valve in-
stalled of series 8500, but the operating principle is valid
even for other safety valves installed of series 8200 and
8300
