Caleffi combi valves

[tomplumb83]

Anybody find that these are worse than other valves? In that the pressure reliefs last a year or two before discharging
Or is it just me

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Just you sorry to say fitted loads but no problems my end (touch wood)

and if if there discharging I would think there's a problem

 

[townfanjon]

Yep no massive probs here either , probably about 50 / 50 with Reliance in reliability

Ok thanks.
Ive looked after student accommodation with 100 cylinders for 10+ years and had very few problems with them
Fitted afew in houses and keep having to go back. I was starting to doubt them mainly due to the fact they're quite cheap. Now I'm just doubting myself

I find the range tribune inlet gear is always failing (prv), might be caleffi im not sure

The range tribune is caleffi.
Ive been to one today passing.
Can you get the 6bar prv seperate? Or do you need to replace the whole combi valve?

 

[tomplumb83]

I accumulated about a dozen caleffi combi valves so I keep taking prvs off them
You can buy a loose nut prv for about £12 though which I've done before, presumably they're all basically the same.
Will try another manufacturer

Is it a 3/4 threaded union on them?

Yeah available separate pretty cheap, either an Allen key or securing nut on them I think if it's a newish one

 

[tomplumb83]

Probably ok just swapping the cartridge
