Overview

The AW PLV15C-600 15mm (1/2") 600kPa male compression 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 AW PLV pressure limiting valve features the same threads, fitments and similar physical sizes with many other valve manufacturers such as Reliance, AVG, Tomson, Nefa and Reflex. This makes the AW PLV pressure limiting valve a perfect direct replacement to an existing valve with no plumbing pipe modifications required. When the compression nuts and the copper olives are removed, this PLV pressure limiting valve can be used as male threaded valves.

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 600kPa 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. 

The compression nuts at the ends of the PLV pressure limiting valve are used to connect to the Australian standard 15mm 1/2"sized copper pipes, which are most common in the residential plumbing. The olives inside bite into the copper pipes to form a water tight seal when the cone nuts are tightened and no plumbing tapes should be used for compression type connections to maximize the biting force. 

When the compression end nuts and olives are removed, the the male threads are exposed underneath. The PLV pressure limiting valve can be used as a threaded valve to screw into fittings and other valves. During all threaded connections, plumbing tapes must be used between the male and female threads.

Good tug toy
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
I have a doberman that shready everything in 2.5 seconds. This lasted a few days so was impressed for the cost. Would buy again as he really liked it.

My dog’s new favorite
Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel
didn’t expect much for the price but my dog actually loves this thing. It’s tough enough to hold up to regular chewing and the leather gives it a nice texture that’s different from the usual plush toys. He carries it around like it’s his prize. It’s not indestructible and if your dog is a heavy shredder it probably won’t last forever but for moderate chewers it holds up way better than a lot of toys I’ve tried. Definitely worth grabbing again.

Not for gnawers
Size: 11.5 in, Color: Bear
I was hoping this would work for my teenage ACD and save my leather goods from being chewed on. He gnawed on it quietly I was thrilled. But I had to take it from him within a few minutes. Gnawing apparently equals chewing pieces off. Not made for chewers or gnawers. It seemed to be well made, was soft, was actually a fairly good size and didn’t get gross when it got spitty. Just didn’t work out for Captain chaos destructor of all.

Durable & Leather. For Small-Medium Dogs
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever, Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
This is a great dog toy! My Pomeranian is a small guy at only 8lbs. but he sure knows how to chew and he does it as often as he can. I was throwing out toy after toy because he was tearing them to pieces after only a half hour or so. After putting my money in the garbage so many times, I decided to search for toys that would hold up to his destructive mouth. I found a lot that claimed they wouldn't fall apart but they were all more than I wanted to spend. I came across this toy and a rabbit shaped one just like this. I bought both months ago and both are still in tact after all this time. Sure the edges are a little frayed but other than that, no damage whatsoever! I'm not sure what dura fused means but that seemed promising to me when I was reading the description, also the fact that they're leather made them seem more durable to me. Both have squeakers inside and some sort of stuffing as well. I throw all of my dogs toys in the laundry or hand wash them once a week, except for these. When these toys get wet with my dogs saliva, they look like they're not meant to get wet. Even without washing, these seem fine. This toy is probably about 9" long or so if I had to guess. In my opinion, it'd be perfect for a medium sized dog. It's a tiny bit big for my little guy but he manages just fine! If you're looking for a durable toy that your small to medium dog can chew on constantly, look no further!

Always looking for less destructible dog toys
Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel, Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel
I am constantly searching for aggressive chewer dog toys. So many claim to be and one look and you know they haven’t met your dog!! Our golden retriever is so sweet until he gets his claws and teeth into a new toy. We nicknamed him the shredder, as he rips his new toys to pieces. I accidentally stumbled across this toy. We have never owned a leather dog toy. The squirrel is going to give Maverick a run for his money. The edges are double sewn closed. I am very impressed with the quality of this toy for $5.75 which includes the sales price and an additional 10% off coupon. Even without those two incentives the toy is less than $8 prime. The other shapes are similar or cheaper in price and now I see a 50% off 1 toy coupon when you buy 2. What a deal and the squirrel has a squeaker inside. What I like about the squirrel is that there’s less limbs or appendages for Maverick to shred off. The bunny has ears, the raccoon has hands, the buffalo has legs, the bone and retriever stick have a rope, the bear has a neck and head that could be chewed off, similar to the fox who has a tail and snout. The squirrel looks like it would be harder to destroy! The squeaker was hard to push at first but is easier now. Maverick has a black lab sister who loves squirrels, more so than she loves toys, and I found this toy searching for squirrel toys for her. It is offered in 8 other shapes. The squirrel measures almost 8” tall by 5” wide. It’s perfect for a medium or large size dog. Based on the construction of this squirrel dog toy it looks acceptable for an aggressive chewer and won’t break the bank. It’s very affordable. Always supervise! Updates to follow at Christmas:). BTW, the squirrel did not smell bad upon opening.
