FAQs

The EF1216C is a compact safety and relief valve with clamp connections, intended for equipment and piping systems where a removable compact process connection is preferred. It can be used for compatible steam, gases, vapours and liquids within its applicable pressure and temperature range.
The EF1216 uses BSP or NPT threaded connections. The EF1216C uses a clamp-based connection system, making it particularly useful for packaged equipment and installations where fast removal or compact process connections are preferred.
Clamp-based configurations can include: - Clamp-Clamp - Clamp-BSP Availability depends on size and execution. The exact inlet and outlet combination should be confirmed during quotation.
Yes. It can be considered for compatible: - Steam - Hot water - Compressed air - Gas - Vapours - Liquids The actual pressure, temperature, fluid and sealing requirements must be checked for the selected configuration.

ABOUT EF1216C

The Pressure Safety Valve Model 1216C is a compact spring-loaded safety and relief valve specifically designed for sanitary and clean process applications, featuring clamp (ISO 2852) and threaded connections for easy integration and maintenance.

Manufactured in stainless steel 316L, the 1216C provides reliable overpressure protection in systems handling steam, gases, vapors, and liquids, particularly in industries where cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation are essential.

Designed in accordance with EN 4126-1/7 and EN 12516-1, and suitable for supply under the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), the valve ensures stable and accurate pressure relief under standard operating conditions.

With a working temperature range from -10°C to +350°C, and features such as disc O-ring sealing, sealed packing system, and compatibility with sanitary clamp connections, the Model 1216C is an ideal solution for process lines requiring compact, hygienic, and reliable pressure protection.

The EF1216C is a compact safety and relief valve with clamp connections, intended for equipment and piping systems where a removable compact process connection is preferred. It can be used for compatible steam, gases, vapours and liquids within its applicable pressure and temperature range.
The EF1216 uses BSP or NPT threaded connections. The EF1216C uses a clamp-based connection system, making it particularly useful for packaged equipment and installations where fast removal or compact process connections are preferred.
Clamp-based configurations can include: - Clamp-Clamp - Clamp-BSP Availability depends on size and execution. The exact inlet and outlet combination should be confirmed during quotation.
Yes. It can be considered for compatible: - Steam - Hot water - Compressed air - Gas - Vapours - Liquids The actual pressure, temperature, fluid and sealing requirements must be checked for the selected configuration.
Yes. It can be considered for thermal-expansion protection where a clamp-connected compact safety valve is appropriate and the calculated relieving capacity falls within the applicable range.
Yes. It can be considered for sterilizers, autoclaves and associated steam equipment where clamp connections are preferred. The valve pressure, temperature, capacity and equipment requirements must be compatible with the selected execution. This does not automatically imply pharmaceutical or hygienic certification.
Yes. It can be considered for food and beverage equipment and utility services where the valve pressure, temperature, materials and connection configuration are suitable. Typical duties may include: - Steam - Hot water - Compressed air - Compatible process utilities - Cleaning services However, a clamp connection alone does not make the valve hygienic, sanitary or FDA-compliant.
It can be considered for compatible cleaning utilities involving: - Steam - Hot water - Compressed air - Compatible cleaning liquids Use within a CIP system does not automatically mean that the valve itself is a hygienic or CIP-certified component. Cleaning-fluid composition, concentration and temperature should be provided.
Depending on the selected configuration, seat options can include different sealing materials such as metallic, PTFE or elastomeric solutions. The correct sealing material should be selected according to fluid, temperature and required tightness.
It can be considered for compatible corrosive-liquid applications when the selected construction materials and sealing configuration are suitable. For aggressive chemicals, the exact fluid, concentration and temperature should be provided before confirming compatibility.
A PTFE-coated configuration can be evaluated where additional corrosion resistance is required and the coating is compatible with the valve design and process conditions. This should be specified during the RFQ stage.
ATEX configurations can be supplied where applicable. The exact hazardous-area requirement and documentation should be stated during the RFQ stage so that the supplied configuration can be confirmed.
The standard EF1216C pressure rating is PN10. It is the lower-pressure compact clamp-connected variant of the family. The applicable rating should still be confirmed for the selected size and connection configuration before quotation.
Yes. Its compact design and clamp connections make it particularly relevant for: - Sterilizers - Packaged process units - OEM equipment - Compact skids - Utility modules - Food and beverage equipment where dedicated hygienic certification is not required The equipment manufacturer should still define the required capacity, set pressure, materials and certification.
No. The required safety-valve size is determined by the relieving-capacity calculation, not simply by matching the tank or equipment connection. The complete inlet arrangement must nevertheless be suitable for correct safety-valve operation.
The information normally required includes: - Fluid - Required relieving capacity - Set pressure - Temperature - Clamp connection standard and size - Clamp-Clamp or Clamp-BSP requirement - Seat or sealing material - Cleaning-service requirements - Food or pharmaceutical requirements, where applicable - ATEX requirement - Applicable project standard - Inspection and documentation requirements
Delivery time depends on size, connection combination, sealing configuration, coating requirements, certification and project requirements. The applicable lead time is confirmed for each quotation.
Yes. The EF1216C can be supplied within OEM and project-managed environments where inspection, certification and documentation requirements are defined as part of the agreed scope. Any specific ATEX, food-industry, pharmaceutical or equipment-manufacturer requirement should be stated before order.
