RPZ Valve Installation explained
Installation position is chosen for testability, because a valve buried behind plant costs more in access every single year.
- Location and access for testing: Confirm the component identity and model-specific requirements before deciding whether adjustment, testing or replacement is appropriate.
- Drain and tundish provision: Confirm where condensate should discharge and whether the obstruction, pump or drainage arrangement is responsible.
- Pressure loss allowance: Interpret readings against operating conditions and equipment specification; do not assume a recharge is the answer.
- Supplier notification: Confirm the component identity and model-specific requirements before deciding whether adjustment, testing or replacement is appropriate.

- Record when the problem started and any recent changes

What the reported symptom tells us
a high risk connection needing category 4 or 5 protection. Record when this occurs, what changed beforehand and whether other equipment is affected. These observations narrow the investigation; they do not prove which part has failed.
