Safety groups of this type are used to protect pressurised water
heaters according to the requirements of DIN 4753, Part 1,
DIN 1988 and DIN EN1488.
They are compact appliances which incorporate all the necessary
safety devices such as check valve, shutoff valves, test point and
diaphragm type safety valve in one unit.
The safety valve protects the downstream cylinder, pressure
vessel etc. by automatically opening when excess pressure
occurs. The check valve prevents back pressure, backflow and
back syphonage of water from the hot water unit.

SG160S Safety group
Method of Operation
Safety groups of this type combine check valve, shutoff valves,
test point and diaphragm type safety valves in one appliance.
Flow first passes through the check valve and this flow holds the
valve disc in the open position against the force of a spring.
The downstream safety valve is a direct operating safety valve.
That is, the opening force operates against the force of a spring.
The shutoff valves enable the check valve to be checked and
serviced.

Installation Example
SG160S Safety group
Arrangement of the safety
group in the same room
as the water heater
Installation Guidelines
• Safety group must be fitted in the cold water supply to the hot
water storage unit
• Installation in horizontal or vertical pipeline possible
• The installation must be carried out so that:
o There are no shutoff valves or fittings, narrowing of the
pipework or strainers between the water heater and the
safety valve
o Good access is provided for service and maintenance
o The safety valve is fitted above the top of the water heater
to avoid the need for draining down when exchanging the
safety valve insert
• If there is no drainage facility in the room where the heater is
installed, then the safety valve may be fitted in an adjacent
area. DIN 1988, part 2 is to be observed
Arrangement of the safety
group with an expansion
vessel in the same room as
the water heater
Arrangement of the safety group
"corner angle", where no drainage is
available in same room as the water
heater
Typical Applications
Safety groups of this type are installed in accordance with their
specification upstream of water heaters.
The following are some typical applications:
• Central hot water supply systems
• Hot water storage units
Instandhaltung
In accordance with DIN 1988, Part 8, the following operations should be carried out regularly. A planned maintenance scheme is
recommended.
OperationIntervalCarried out by
InspectionCheck valve: Check operation by opening the test point and closing the

lower shutoff valve.
Safety valve: Check operation as follows: With the system operating,
Every six monthsUser or specialist
open the venting device. The resulting water flow must fully drain away.
When the ventil is released,the valve must fully close.
MaintenanceSafety valve: If a malfunction occurs,this may be cured by repeated
