1. General Remarks For technical information, different versions, and dimensions of the safety shut-off valve (SAV) RMG 790 refer to our publication ref: 790.00. Our brochure "General Operating Instructions for Gas Pressure Regulators and Safety Devices" are useful guidelines on how to fit the valve into the line, put it into service and find faults that might disturb its operation. The construction, set-up, supervision and maintenance of gas pressure regulating stations are subject to national technical rules which should be strictly observed (in Germany please refer to the DVGW Worksheets G 490, G 491 and G 495). The frequency of periodical maintenance for the safety shut-off valve RMG 790 is generally determined by the prevailing service conditions and the type and composition of the gaseous medium. We, therefore, refrain from imposing any fixed intervals and would refer you to the recommendations given by the DVGW Worksheet G 495 on "Gas Pressure Regulating Stations and Metering Stations for High Gas Volumes - Supervision and Maintenance". For maintenance, all parts are to be cleaned and subjected to a thorough visual inspection. A visual inspection should not be omitted when the course of operation or performance tests have shown lack of response accuracy. Particular care should be given to the checking of sealings and diaphragms, as well as all carrying and movable parts. Damaged parts should be replaced by new ones. The item numbers referred to in the maintenance instructions are identical to those of the spare parts drawing and spare parts lists. We recommend that a supply of components marked (*) on the spare parts drawing are held on stock by the user.
2. Special operating instructions To protect the boiler, the safety shut-off valve RMG 790 is mounted in the out-flow and return runs of the hot water circulation: Particular care should be given to the following points for the installation (the numbers in the give the positions on scheme 1): 1 The arrows on the name plate must be positionned to the heat exchanger. It is possible in any position. 2 Flanges must be to the pressure rating connection flange on the heat exchanger (it is necessary since the SAV RMG 790 is inserted between two flanges.)
3 The shut-off valves are necessary to control the function; they must be applied in the pression stage of the heating unit. It is not necessary to install these valves if isolation is possible within the heating room. (scheme 1). 4 The outlet of the control devices G 3/4 must be connected to a combined discharge and collecting line for gas and water. The collecting line must be dimensioned as follows: response pressure RMG 790 pipework < 2,5 bar R 3/4" > 2,5 bar R 1"

5 As the discharge and collecting line is situated in the open, it must be protected against frost. If the water collecting line terminates in the building, a syphon filled with water has to be provided. In the event of damage, provision should be made to prevent gas entering via the water drain into the setting room. 6 By controlling the function of the SAV RMG 790, the pressure must be increased within the heat exchanger. The additional shut-off connection must be provided only on one device. The connecting thread is G 1/4 in the device. Note: unit supplied with a plug fitted in this connection. 7 The control manometer I shows the position of the given pressure when controlling. The measuring range should be chosen in order that the pressure can be increased by 5 to 10 bar over the response pressure of the RMG 790. In case of damage the pressure increases up to the gas inlet pressure within the heat exchanger a shut-off valve must be set between the manometer and the water circuit, the valve remains closed in a normal operating situation.
790.20 p.04
8 The control manometers II are necessary to control the function. The measuring range should be adjusted to the most permissible working pressure pzul within the heating device. The connection thread is G 1/4 in the device. Note: unit supplied with a plug fitted in this connection. A pressure switch can possibly be installed on a SAV (see remark 3, on page 5). 9 Response pressure of the safety valve, see the pressure graduating scheme. 10 The dimension regulation of the expansion vessel (see remark 5, on page 6). 11 Manometer with limiting marks for a max. working pressure in the water circuit (see remark 4, on page 5). 12 To be able to control small damages a sensing or a pressure switch can additionally be provided. A sensing switch must be installed at the highest position in the heat exchanger.

Notes: 1) The highest working pressure p1 within the water circuit and without using the safety shut-off valve RMG 790 is necessary to determine the size of the expansion vessel. This pressure is 0,1 to 0,2 bar under the response pressure pS SBV on the heating station. (Example above: p1 = pS SBV - 0,2 bar = 2,3 bar). 2) The limiting pressure pK on which the control device of the RMG 790 must be set up depends on the response pressure required pS SBV des RMG 790, on the pipe sizes of the main valve and also on the mounting position of the actuator assembly. Reference values for the limiting pressure pK can be taken from the following table:
Limiting pressure pK to be set in bar mounting position of the RMG 790 pipe size

pS - 0,4 pS - 0,8 pS - 1,0 pS - 1,0 pS - 1,0
horizontal pS - 0,35 pS - 0,70 pS - 0,85 pS - 0,85 pS - 0,85
Example: For RMG 790, pipe sizes DN 80 in vertical mounting position (main valve at the top): pK = pS SBV - 0,7 bar = 2,3 bar - 0,7 bar = 1,6 bar
3) Addtionally to control such small damages a sensing or a pressure switch can be provided. A sensing switch must be installed at the highest position in the heat exchanger. We recommend that you install a switch with two switch positions. The first switch position can be used to start an alarm and the second one to close the SAV over an additional magnetic valve which is parallel to the control device. (see the following scheme).

A pressure switch must be installed so that the switch pressure is at least 0,2 bar over the max. working pressure within the water circuit and 0,1 to 0,2 bar under the limiting pressure on which the control device of the RMG 790 is set. 4) We recommend that you apply a second mark on the manometer of the heating station close to the stipulated limiting marks for the response pressure of the safety valve pS SBV .This mark indicates the highest working pressure p2 within the water circuit of the heating station.
790.20 p.06
5) The use of the safety shut-off valve RMG 790 gets the highest working pressure to decreasing within the water circuit of the heating station. This decrease must be taken into account by chosing a larger expansion vessel. The necessary volume of the expansion vessel can be determined according to the following formula:
p2 • ( p1 - pF ) V2 = V1 • p 1 • ( p2 - pF )
Note! use pressures as absolute values
Designation V1 = necessary volume of the expansion vessel = highest working pressure = necessary volume of the expansion vessel = highest working pressure = Filling of the expansion vessel
p1 V2 p2 pF

Example page 4: the necessary volume extensions calculated as follows: V2 = V1 •
2,3 • (3,3 - 1,5) 3,3 • (2,3 - 1,5)
= 1,6 • V1
A drain locking device between the main valve and the control device makes it possible to unscrew the control device without any water loss when controlling and maintaining. ATTENTION: • After the control device has been removed the safety shut-off valve does not function any more! • to enable a safe opening of the water locking device when installing a control device, use only the original connecting parts between the control device and the water locking device.
Special operating instructions For separate mounting elements it is recommended to pay particular attention to the following points: • sealing rings (14, 24, 32, 34, 35, 36, 38) checking of any damages, and mounting with silicone grease (50) - take the protection disc (1) out - remove the split pin (13) and the inferior disc (12) from the axis of the valve piston (16), then take the complete installation with the valve spring (5) out. Notice: when mounting do not forget the valve spring (9) • sealing rings (3, 6, 10, 18, 24, 40) according to required exchange grease with silicone grease (50). • piston (26) within the control device control the corrosion, the piston should be easy to move.
