The Sample Safe Valve
The Evolution of the Concept
The idea for the valve was borne from a simple thing: a necessity. After a routine boiler check, a colleague had an uneasy feeling that something was not quite right. This lead to a Gas Engineer being called out to see if everything was as it should be. Everything was OK, but the first thing the Gas Engineer thought it might be would have been the end cap not being fitted after the check; this type of thing can happen very easily. Considering the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, concerns were raised about the incident and how easily something like that could occur. This lead to thinking that something could be done about it. A bit of thinking and tinkering later, the Sample Safe Valve was engineered. With its self-locking valve, testing is a simple and safe process, while the The anti-tamper nut locking nut ensures that the valve cannot be removed once it has been installed.

Safe and Secure in the Home
According to the NHS website, over 200 people in the UK are admitted to hospital each year from Carbon Monoxide poisoning, with around 50 people dying from complications brought about from over-exposure. This can happen from something as simple as accidentally leaving the cap off after a routine Carbon Monoxide check. The Sample Safe Valve, with its patented design, prevents this from happening. The anti-tamper nut prevents the removal of the valve, and the valve itself is only activated during a Carbon Monoxide test, thereby preventing any noxious gas leaks. As the Sample Safe Valve is only activated for the short time that is necessary, it protects landlords, tenants/home-owners, and installers/engineers. Landlords can have the peace of mind knowing that their tenants and property are safe from accidents. Tenants and home-owners will be secure in the knowledge that another safety measure has been installed in their home. Engineers and installers will not have to wonder if they have replaced the cap after their job, and be comfortable knowing that the overall levels of CO they are exposed to has been greatly reduced.

What are the benefits of the Sample Safe Valve for Landlords?
Landlords can be secure in the knowledge that their tenants are safe from expelled carbon monoxide from the boiler flue between services. The anti-tamper nut on the valve also ensures that no mistakes will happen on their properties.
What are the benefits of the Sample Safe Valve for Homeowners or Tenants?
Homeowners and Tenants will be safe and secure from the risk of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. The self-locking valve will safeguard against any leaks of the toxic gas, ensuring a safe environment for their family.
What are the benefits of the Sample Safe Valve for Gas Engineers?
Testing boilers for carbon monoxide can result in low-level exposure over a prolonged period of time. The Sample Safe Valve’s self-locking system, coupled with the analyser probe, greatly reduces the amounts of the gas an Engineer will be exposed to. The anti-tamped nut also gives the Engineer peace of mind, as they cannot accidently leave the valve off as they could a traditional flue cap.
