Description
1.5" Tri-Clamp Spunding Valve with 0–2.2 bar scale
A spunding valve is an adjustable pressure relief valve. It holds the pressure in the tank at the level you set and releases any CO2 above it. This valve from Brumetal has a 1.5" Tri-Clamp connection and a scale, and adjusts manually from 0 to 2.2 bar. It has a scale but no pressure gauge. It is used for pressure fermentation and natural carbonation in fermenters with 1.5" Tri-Clamp ports. Brumetal is made from 304 stainless steel of the highest quality.
Features
- Adjustable pressure: 0–2.2 bar
- Scale for setting the pressure (no gauge)
- Connection: 1.5" Tri-Clamp
- Manufacturer: Brumetal
How to use the valve
Fit the valve to a 1.5" Tri-Clamp port on the tank with a clamp and gasket, and set the desired pressure. When fermentation produces more CO2 than the setting, the valve releases the excess. Always check the maximum pressure your tank is rated for.
Frequently asked questions about the 1.5" Tri-Clamp Spunding Valve
What pressure should I ferment at?
A typical pressure for pressure fermentation is 0.7–1 bar. Many brewers let the first couple of days run without pressure and apply it afterwards. Leave 15–20% headspace in the tank.
Why ferment under pressure?
Pressure suppresses ester formation, so lagers, for example, can be fermented warmer. The CO2 produced also stays in the beer, so it is carbonated in the tank.
What is the difference between this and the valve with a gauge?
This valve is set using the scale and has no gauge. If you want to read the tank pressure directly, there is a 1.5" Spunding Valve with a gauge.
Does the valve fit tanks with 34 mm Tri-Clamp?
No, this one has a 1.5" Tri-Clamp. For tanks with 34 mm ports there is a separate spunding valve with 34 mm Tri-Clamp.
