Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
The condensate drain valve PROTEGO® ZE/TK consists of the
ball valve
Ball valve
A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a drilled ball to control flow of the medium.
(1) with hand lever (2), a female threaded connection (e.g., pipe thread G½” up to G1”), and the flame arrester (3) with cover (4).
The elbow fitting (5) is also available as an optional outlet.
The flame arrester (3) consists of the flame arrester casing and FLAMEFILTER®.
The ball valve is opened with the hand lever. When draining condensate, a suitable container is required. When draining flammable and/or toxic products, observe the appropriate safety provisions.
For Explosion Group IIB
The simple and sturdy design is suitable for nearly all flammable liquids and can be installed in any position.
Flame transmission protection is guaranteed against atmospheric deflagrations of product vapor/air mixtures of
