Excess Flow Valve with (Automatic) Check Valve

I am only doing this because retención automática does not mean automatic lock-out, it refers to a check valve, which works automatically by nature so the inclusion of automatic is optional/somewhat redundant

See these links for the same product in English and Spanish (VÁLVULA DE RETENCIÓN AUTOMÁTICA/AUTOMATIC CHECK VALVE):

http://www.itap.it/válvulas-para-instalaciones-de-calefacció...

Válvulas de Exceso de Flujo (Excess Flow Valve): cierre rápido para controlar un flujo súbito y momentáneo, hacia un tanque.

So this is the complete correct answer.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Jennifer Levey : Asker's question is not about "VÁLVULA DE RETENCIÓN AUTOMÁTICA" - it's about "Válvula de flujo súbito"; and Asker tells us the field is 'Electronics / Elect Eng', not 'hydraulics'.

The valve is provided with an optical indicator and electric contacts, which allow remote observation of its closed position.The valve is suitable for fitting in a pipe connecting the conservator with the tank cover.

Transformer conservator isolation valve (TCIV)

The TCIV operates as a non return valve so long as there is abnormal flow of oil, and operates as a conduit or pipe during normal flow of oil. In case of a sudden flow of oil considered as an abnormal flow, the valve mechanism inside moves clockwise and shuts off any passage of oil through the valve
