1. Selection of the valve body size The standard valve for modulating boiler water level control is DN40 (1½") nominal pipe size (40 mm). A range of seat sizes to suit this body is available to suit most sizes of boilers. However, for smaller or larger boilers, alternative sized valves can be selected from the Spirax Sarco range - See page 3. Valve stem seals are available in normal (PTFE) or high temperature (graphite) material. We recommend the use of the high temperature seal to decrease the possibility of leakage over long term use. Valves with high temperature stem seals are suffixed 'H'.

2. Selection of the valve body material and pressure rating The valve body must be suitable for the maximum pressure and temperature in the feedwater line. Standard valve types are as follows:

KE71 Screwed

SG iron body

PN25 rating (Pmax 25 bar g at 120 ºC)

KE73 Flanged

KE43 Flanged PN40 rating (Pmax 40 bar g at 120 ºC)

Cast steel body
