Altecnic 1/2 FxM Flow Limiter 5 Litres/min Yellow 534205

This is a 1/2 FxM flow limiter from Altecnic, part of the manufacturer's flow regulation range. It restricts the flow through a 1/2 inch female x male connection to a maximum of 5 litres per minute. The yellow colour coding identifies the 5 litres per minute rating within the range.

• Flow at the outlet is higher than the 5 litres per minute rating the fitting is meant to hold.
• Flow rate becomes erratic or varies between outlets fitted with the same limiter.
• Visible scale, debris or mineral build-up on the restrictor or seating faces.
• Water weeps or drips from the female or male connection.
• The fitting no longer seats correctly or the flow control element is damaged.

• Confirm the connection size and configuration: 1/2 inch female x male.
• Confirm the required flow rate is 5 litres per minute and that the yellow coding matches the rating needed.
• Check the condition of the mating threads and seals before fitting.
• Isolate and drain the relevant section of the system before removing the existing limiter.
