For use on bottom take-off connections on steel or plastic domestic heating oil tanks.
The filter and isolating valve is positioned in the oil feed pipe, usually near the tank, running to the boiler. This insures that the oil supply can quickly be turned off, for example, during boiler servicing.
The OFV is fitted with a nylon filter, this is important because even the smallest particle of dirt or rust can permanently damage a boiler's oil pump and/or block the very fine oil atomising jet.
Two new models of the OFV are now available, offering even greater ease of maintenance and replacement of parts.
The OFV-8 is our premium offering providing the ultimate in flexibility and long-term peace of mind.
It features two separate valves. The first to shut off the flow from the oil tank. The second to shut off the flow to the boiler, preventing backflow during filter maintenance.
All sections are separate units, and can be replaced independently, without having to replace any other parts of the device.
The OFV-9 strikes the balance between flexibility and low-cost by adding a second valve on the outflow of the standard OFV.
This allows for easier filter maintenance, by preventing backflow of oil from the boiler.
A full range of spare parts and maintenance kits are available. See the datasheets below for more details.
