Overview

The APO PLV15F-500 15mm (1/2") 500kPa PLV pressure limiting valve is commonly used to regulate the supply cold water pressure to hot water services including heat pumps, electric, gas storage and solar water heaters across all mainstream brands in Australia such as Rheem, Vulcan, Rinnal, Dux, Aquamax, Thermann, Apricus and Solahart. 

The APO PLV pressure limiting valve features the same threads, fitments and similar physical sizes with many other valve manufacturers such as Reliance, AVG, Tomson, AW, Nefa and Reflex. This makes the APO PLV pressure limiting valve a perfect direct replacement to an existing valve with no plumbing pipe modifications required. 

The PLV pressure limiting valves usually come in 350, 500 and 600kPa ratings under Australian Watermark standard regulations. Each pressure specification is used on specific plumbing applications, depending the pressure rating requirement of the appliances. The PLV pressure limiting valve regulates the inlet water pressure by employing a sliding piston design internally and creates a pressure drop as the water passes through the valve. This piston design is directional and therefore there is an arrow on each pressure limiting valve body indicating the water flow orientation.  

Engineer's Notes

When a PLV pressure limiting valve fails, it is usually caused by the corrosion and debris clogging-up inside the valve body, preventing the piston's sliding actions over its usage life spans. In most cases, the water pressure and flow rate can drop significantly causing an unsatisfying user experience. In less common scenarios, the opposite can also happen and the pressure limiting valve may lose its pressure limiting ability, potentially blowing up appliances with over pressures. 

A PLV pressure limiting valve can only limit the dynamic pressure of the passing inlet water. The valve can not regulate a static pressure increase inside a water heater when the water heats up and expands, where PTR and ECV valves must be used instead for the pressure relief.

The 500kPa is a nominal outlet pressure rating under Australian Watermark Standard testing condition with a set inlet pressure. In real world situations, the actual mains supply water pressure can fluctuate and vary greatly from locations to locations. This presents a challenge for many hot water heater installations, especially when the street's mains pressure is too high. In this scenario, the PLV pressure limiting valve may fail to limit the inlet pressure below the hot water tank's pressure rating requirement. The PTR and ECV valves of the hot water service can leak excessively or even in a continuous stream as consequences. In such situations, pressure reducing valves can be used in the places of the pressure limiting valves to address this problem.

Subtle but gorgeous
Color: Golden
I’d buy it just for the perfume bottle - just adorable. The glitter is light and gives a delightful shimmer on skin and hair. Not saying exactly how old I am but I remember the 80s…if you older and just want some sparkle THIS IS IT. It’s light cover and sheen is just enough to add some glam without looking like you’ve just come off the pole… If you are heading in that direction just use an extra couple of puffs of glitter and you go girl… Will likely buy more colors, so fun!

Love This Shimmer Spray!
Color: Silver
Absolutely love this glitter spray! I bought this for a party and it worked even better than I expected. The glitter is super fine and gives a beautiful, high-end shimmer without looking chunky or cheap. The spray nozzle is really easy to use and distributes the shimmer evenly on both hair and skin.

Shine bright!
Color: Golden
Shimmer is brilliant. It stays on longer if you add lotion to "seal" it in place. Small enough that it am not afraid it will hurt my eye if some gets in. Bonus that it has a refill. Bottle is super cute and glass.

Spray a couple of coats for more sparkly look
We’ve been using this glitter spray for my daughter’s cheer competitions, and it has been a huge hit! The sparkle is absolutely beautiful and very bright, holographic, and eye-catching under the lights. It really helps her stand out on the floor. A little goes a long way, and the spray applies evenly without clumping. What I love most is how quickly it dries and how well it lasts throughout the event. It stays put without making a mess or rubbing off easily on clothes. We’ve used it on her skin and hair with great results. Honestly, all the other kids notice it right away and end up wanting some too after seeing how sparkly it looks! Overall, this is a fun and effective product for competitions, performances, or any event where you want that extra shine. We’ll definitely keep using it! Update: This is the second time purchasing because we ran out sharing with our cheer friends.
