The pipeline separator protects drinking water systems against contamination caused by back pressure, backflow, or back siphonage of utility water into the drinking water network. It offers better protection than check valves, as it allows protection up to risk class 4.

Compact design with easy maintenance, without the need to remove the separator from the pipeline. The separator is characterized by low pressure loss and high flow rate. When the pipeline separator is closed, a green color appears under the transparent cover. The separator is certified for use in drinking water systems and complies with KTW recommendations.

Construction

• body with pressure gauge
• output differential pressure transmitter
• connection threaded fittings
• hydraulically operated switching valve
• shock absorber
• spring cover
• drain hole
• valve insert with spring
• piston guide with double O-ring seal

How does the separator work?

The separator is primarily in a closed position in this case. If water starts to be drawn from the system, the differential pressure increases, switching the separator to the flow position. When the water draw stops, the differential pressure drops, and the separator closes again.

Typical areas of application

• chemical plants
• chemical cleaning facilities
• softening and deacidification operations without DVGW certification
• heating system filling assemblies without DVGW approval, water without inhibitors
• film development laboratories without DVGW certification
• electroplating baths
• boilers and automatic pressure fermentation equipment
• beverage vending machines
