Set SWING2 PN10, straight version

Product detailed description

The SWING2 PN10 set is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings with steel pipe central heating systems. It provides a reliable and efficient solution for connecting radiators, ensuring full flow capacity and ease of maintenance. Installers working on traditional or modern heating systems will find this set suitable for applications where high thermal efficiency and long-term durability are required.

This set is designed for integration into systems with steel pipes and radiators operating under moderate pressure conditions. It is particularly useful in systems where full flow is necessary for optimal heat distribution. The components are engineered to allow straightforward installation and alignment during the fitting process, reducing time spent on adjustments and ensuring compatibility with standard pipe layouts.

Technical parameters

Brand	HEPWORTH corporation UK

The nominal pressure rating PN10 indicates the valve and union are suitable for systems operating under standard domestic pressure conditions. The maximum operating temperature of +120°C ensures compatibility with conventional central heating systems. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection to match the system’s hydraulic and thermal requirements.

Installation and connection

To install the SWING2 PN10 set, begin by ensuring the system is depressurised and disconnected from the heat source. Align the valve and union with the steel pipe and radiator ports. Use a wrench to tighten the connections, ensuring even torque to avoid misalignment or damage to the threads. Verify that the union is fully seated and that the valve stem moves freely after installation. A common mistake is over-tightening, which can cause thread damage or gasket failure. Always double-check the alignment and ensure there are no kinks in the piping before commissioning the system.

Compatibility and accessories

This set is specifically designed for use with steel pipe radiators and is compatible with standard central heating systems. No additional accessories are included in the set beyond the valve and union. For complete installation, ensure that all pipe joints and fittings are properly sealed and that the system is balanced according to design specifications.

Technical background for designers

The SWING2 PN10 set operates on a fully open principle, allowing unrestricted flow through the radiator. This minimises pressure drop and ensures uniform heat distribution. The components are manufactured using durable materials suitable for long-term exposure to hot water and steam. Integration into the system requires careful consideration of pipe layout and radiator positioning to optimise thermal performance. The service life and efficiency of the set depend on correct installation, regular inspection, and adherence to system balancing guidelines.

Service and operation

Routine checks should include verifying the tightness of the union and the free movement of the valve stem. Look for signs of leakage or corrosion around the connections. There are no specific service intervals provided for this model; however, inspections should be carried out during system maintenance or if performance issues arise. Prompt replacement of damaged components is recommended to maintain system integrity.

Frequently asked questions

Can the SWING2 PN10 set be used with copper or plastic pipes?
No, this set is specifically designed for use with steel pipes. Using it with other materials may compromise the seal or cause incompatibility issues.

Is the valve fully open when in the open position?
Yes, the valve allows full flow when opened, ensuring no restriction to the radiator’s thermal output.

What is the maximum temperature the set can handle?
The set is rated for a maximum operating temperature of +120°C, making it suitable for standard central heating applications.

Can the set be used in high-pressure systems?
No, the nominal pressure rating is PN10, so it is not suitable for systems exceeding this pressure level.
