AKT
Manual valve AKT is used for the manual shut-off of
all gases to DVGW Code of Practice G 260/I and air.
GEHV, GEH, LEH
Flow adjusting cocks GEHV, GEH, LEH are used for
precise flow rate adjustment.
This function is only guaranteed when used within the
specified limits – see page 3 (Technical data). Any
other use is considered as non-compliant.
