DATA SHEET
CONTAINER VALVE RGS-MAM-50
Description
The valve, designed and manufacture for HC-227ea gas containers, is the result of extensive R&D and has
unique built-in safety features. The valve is factory fitted to the container.
The valve is provided with a pressure gauge, pressure switch and burst disc which meet the DOT and
TPED requirements.
Operating principles
The valve is a high flow, quick opening valve specially designed for fire protection use. It operates using a
differential pressure piston mechanism. The container pressure is used with the valve to create a positive
force on the piston, thus sealing the valve. The valve when pressure is relieved from the upper chamber
pressure is relieved via an actuator.
Each valve includes the following elements:
• Burst disc to relieve pressure in case of needed.
• Discharge port complete with safety cap.
• Actuation port for connecting an electrical discharge head, complete with safety cap.
• Pneumatic connection (pilot port) for operation as a main valve in cylinder banks.
• Ports to connect the pressure gauge and/or the pressure switch.

Working:
The RGS-MAM-50 container valves are of a high flow and quick opening and they´re specially designed for
its use for fire protection.
They work through a piston device by differential pressure. The cylinder pressure is used with the valve to
create a positive force in the piston, sealing the closing of the valve.
The opening is made when the superior chamber is alleviated of pressure, moving the piston upwards,
leaving in this way that the gas flow leaves to the outsides.
The pressure of the superior chamber frees by a manual, pneumatic, pneumatic-manual, electrical actuator
or electrical pyrotechnic actuator.
Valve incorporates the following elements:
- Burst disc to relieve pressure in case it´s necessary.
- Discharge port (outlet valve), adjusted to the safety cap.
- Activation port to install a manual, pneumatic, pneumatic-manual, electrical actuator or electrical
pyrotechnic actuator, adjusted to the safety cap.
- A pneumatic connection (pilot port) to work as a main valve in manifold system.
- Ports to connect the pressure gauge and/or the pressure switch.
Safety:
User´s or installers of this valve must be sure that the use and application of this product meets all national
and local standards. SIEX 2001, S.L. doesn´t give any warranty for the function of any non-approved use or
application. Any personnel who may use this product must be familiar with these instructions and any other
product´s instruction or guide.
This is a high pressure valve to be used in fixed extinguishing installations with FM-200®.
The following instructions must be incorporated in every product guide or instruction. Not following any
instruction or warring included in this guide or any product label may cause a serious damage to human life,
materials or both of them.
CE and π marking:
SIEX 2001, S.L. as pressure equipment supplier for fixed extinguish systems, gets the CE marking of their
equipment following the standards about pressured systems 2014 / 68 / UE directive and π marking
according to requirements of the Transportable Pressured Equipment Board 2010 / 35 / CE. Both CE
marking and marking belong to fixed fire protection system with gaseous agent, formed by a cylinder, valve,
bursting disc and valve protection elements.
The CE marking under evaluation procedure of conformity MODULO H1 of the Directive CE-PED-H1 (full
recognized of quality with special design and vigilance control of final verification). The π marking according
to the approval assessment process MODULO H1 of the Directive CE-TPED-H1D (full recognized quality
with design check and supervision of the final trial check).
Any other handling (bottle, valve, bursting disc or valve protection elements) not doing by SIEX will cancel
the marking.
Do not remove the (CE-0056) marking label placed on the valve, or π marking on the cylinder.

DATA SHEET
Obligatory performance requirements:
- Before assembly the valve to the cylinder, check the valve condition (cleanliness, thread condition),
please get informed about the standards and legislation about safety applicable to valves and gas.
- Most of defects come because of dust.
- Without a written authorization from our Technical Department it is forbidden any other application.
- Do not dismantle any valve.
- Do not lubricate.
- Do not remove the valve from the cylinder while there is pressure.
- Check that different components are in good conditions and that they are compatible with FM-200®,
also that pressure isn´t higher than the one specified in the bottle and finally, that the consume is correct.
- Necessary precautions:
• Respect this instruction guide.
• Customer must be sure about the components functions after assembly.
• Customer must inform us about any incident and it´s your responsibility to send back any
faulty valve to our installations in order to check it.
- Valves must be storage in a stockroom to room temperature (not below -4ºF (-20ºC) not above 122ºF
(50ºC)) in the original bottle.
- Valves must not suffer violent damages, a distorted valve or with holes or defects cannot be used at all.

- SIEX 2001 S.L. does not give any warranty if product is used for any other use than the one has been
designed for.
- Final customer must meet strictly and compulsorily the standard, the regulations and the different
applicable prescriptions incorrect assembly or wrong maintenance.
- Customer is responsible for the accident or personal material or non-material, direct or indirect damage
caused by the incorrect assemble or wrong maintenance.
- If valve is equipped with a pressure gauge, this cannot be used to indicate the filling of the bottle.
- Customer must warrant the correct transport and handing of the bottle. SIEX 2001 S.L. does not give
any warranty if product is transported or handed under the wrong conditions, or if the original cylinder is
damaged or broken. Customer must inform SIEX 2001 S.L. in case of any of the above mentioned
