SM 152

Diaphragm safety valve

for closed water heaters
Product specification sheet
Application
Type SM 152 diaphragm-type safety valves are used to
protect pressurised water heaters according to the require-
ments of DIN 4753, Part 1 and EN 1717.
In accordance with statutory requirements, the diaphragm
safety valve is preset to the required fixed set pressure by the
manufacturer and is sealed with an embossed security cap
marked with the test badge and pressure rating to prevent
unauthorised tampering with the setting. Subsequent alter-
ation of the setting is not permitted and is impossible without
destroying the security cap. The preset pressure is embossed
on the security cap.
The unique Honeywell Braukmann facility en-
ables the valve to be serviced without removal from the pipe-
work.

Method of Operation
SM 152 diaphragm-type safety valves are direct-acting safety
valves in which the disc is pushed up by the pressure from
the system against a spring which is holding the valve closed.
If the opening force exceeds the force exerted by the spring,
then the valve disc is lifted off the valve seat and the valve
discharges the medium. In accordance with the requirements
of the standard, the full discharge capacity of the valve will be
achieved when the system pressure climbs to no more than
10% above the set pressure of the valve. Full shutoff must be
achieved if the system pressure falls to below 80% of the
nominal set pressure of the valve. For valves rated up to 3.0
bar, the closing pressure can be taken as 0.6 bar minimum.

Installation Example

Installation Guidelines Typical Applications

• The safety valve must be installed in the cold water Diaphragm safety valves are installed in accordance with
supply pipework before the water heater. their specification upstream of water heaters. The following
• The installation must be carried out so that: are some typical uses
! There are no shutoff valves or fittings, narrowing of • Central hot water supply systems
the pipework or strainers between the water heater • Hot water storage units
and the safety valve.
! Good access is provided for service and
maintenance.
! 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. EN 1717 is to be observed.

Inspection and Maintenance

In accordance with DIN 1988, Part 8, the following operations
should be carried out regularly. A planned maintenance
scheme is recommended.

Operation Interval Carried out by

Inspection Check operation: Vent the valve during normal operation of the Every six months User or specialist
and test system. The discharged water should run away properly and the
valve then fully shut off when released.
Maintenance If the valve does not function properly, venting several times may Annually Specialist
correct the situation. If not, a full overhaul of the valve will be
necessary.
