Altecnic Launches Apartment Control Assembly Plus™

Designed as a comprehensive solution for water management in multi-occupancy buildings.

Altecnic, the UK’s leading supplier in hydronic solutions and part of the Caleffi Group, has launched the brand new ‘Apartment Control Assembly Plus™’. The valve assembly offers a combination of functionality and efficiency to allow the easy monitoring and control of water supply to a range of residential and commercial multi-occupancy developments.

The Apartment Control Assembly Plus™ has been designed to ensure seamless water management with three interconnected monoblocs:

1. Pressure Control & Isolation: Featuring an isolating ball valve, a high-performance pressure reducing valve (PRV) with a tamper-proof cover, a gauge port, and a strainer, this monobloc provides robust isolation and pressure regulation.
2. Water Meter & Carrier: Equipped with a water meter carrier and isolation capabilities, this monobloc facilitates accurate monitoring and measurement of water usage.
3. Backflow Prevention & Isolation: Incorporating a double check valve with a test port, a high-quality isolation valve, and a rotatable 360° drain cock on two axes, this monobloc ensures efficient water flow and maintenance.

Available in six configurations, including various options of water meter with wireless MBUS connectivity, the Apartment Control Assembly Plus™ can seamlessly integrate into a wide range of residential and commercial developments. The use of wireless MBUS connectivity opens the potential for remote communications from the water meter adding another layer of flexibility for installers and contractors.

The Apartment Control Assembly Plus™ streamlines installation and servicing with built-in mounting brackets and user-friendly features, making it a preferred choice for installers and contractors alike. By consolidating multiple functions into a single assembly, it reduces the number of connections required during installation, thereby saving time, money, and mitigating the risk of leaks.

In addition, the pressure & backflow monoblocs are made from a dezincification resistant low lead brass alloy to BS EN 12165 CW724R, which is 4MS compliant, ensuring installations are futureproofed against regulation changes.

With WRAS and KIWA Reg 4 approval on the Series 539H monobloc, customers can trust in the quality and safety of the Apartment Control Assembly Plus™. Additionally, the new valve assembly comes with a 5-year warranty, providing customers with peace of mind and assurance. The warranty underscores Altecnic’s commitment to delivering products of the highest quality and reliability, backed by industry-leading support.

Gary Perry, Managing Director at Altecnic, commented, “The Apartment Control Assembly Plus™ offers a comprehensive solution that simplifies water management for multi-occupancy buildings. Each component of the assembly has been designed to put flexibility into the hands of installers, whether in new-build or retrofit, and whether installing or performing maintenance.”

Gary continues, “For example, the two isolating ball valves allow for each dwelling to be isolated from the main system along with the Apartment Control Assembly Plus™ itself - allowing for hassle-free maintenance. Meanwhile the easy-service PRV allows water pressures to be set and adjusted, and the self-contained cartridge simplifies inspection and maintenance procedures.  The inclusion of a double check valve and 360˚ rotatable drain cock enables the Apartment Control Assembly Plus™ to meet the unique requirements of any project.”

“Furthermore, our customers demand products that not only meet but exceed industry standards, with the Apartment Control Assembly Plus™ delivering on that promise. With WRAS and KIWA Reg 4 approvals on the Series 539H monobloc, along with our signature 5-year warranty on premium Caleffi products, we show our dedication to quality and performance, allowing our customers peace of mind.”
