Standard safety relief valve for closed heating systems designed for up to 6 bar working pressure — domestic gas/solid fuel boilers, heat pumps, solar collector primary loops, buffer tanks. Installed at the boiler, expansion vessel supply branch, or directly on the heat generator, following manufacturer instructions and the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU.

Safety valve size is chosen not by Kvs, but by heat generator output and manufacturer instructions. Watts SVW 6 3/4" (outlet 1") per DIN 4751 typically suits boilers up to ~100 kW in closed systems with 6 bar design pressure. Confirm the exact match against the boiler manufacturer instruction and the Watts catalogue capacity table.
For higher design pressure systems choose SVW 8 3/4" (10004726) — 8 bar opening pressure version. For higher flow capacity — SVW 6 1" (10004749).

No. SVW series valves are factory sealed and calibrated. Any attempt to adjust voids the certification and manufacturer warranty. If a different pressure setting is required, switch to the appropriate rated model (e.g. SVW 8 = 8 bar).
Annual functional test is recommended (manual opening via lever — system pressure should recover without leaks). Replacement — when leaks are visible, seat scaling appears, or after 10-15 years of service (depending on system water quality).
No. SVW series is designed for closed heating systems only. For DHW cylinders choose dedicated DHW safety valves (Watts SVE or equivalents) — they have different hydraulic properties and certifications.
Yes. The safety valve discharge must connect to a visible, open drain (tundish or plain discharge with an air gap) so persistent leakage is detectable. Enclosed drainage is prohibited under EN 12828.
