Technical data
- Max. fluid temperature: 185°f/85°c (Astro 286 up to 1.35a) 50°f/65°c (Astro 286 over 1.35a)230°f/110°c (all others)
- Max. working pressure: 150 psi / 1034 kPa Certification: ETL listed for the US and Canada (conforms to ul std.778 certified to CSA std. c22.2 no.108-01) NSF 372 (for stainless steel models)
Since water conditions can vary with geographical location (i.e. amount and type of dissolved solids) it is recommended that the operating temperature o the fluid for open (potable) systems be kept as low as possible (i.e. below 150°f or 65°c) to avoid precipitation of calcium.
