Blain R10 Rupture Valve

Adjustable Safety Valve for Sudden Pipe Failure Protection

The Blain R10 Rupture Valve is a critical safety device for hydraulic lifts, engineered to detect and stop uncontrolled downward movement caused by pipe rupture or excessive descent speed. Installable in any orientation directly on the cylinder inlet, it closes automatically when pressure drops or flow exceeds a set threshold, bringing the elevator to a smooth, secure stop.

Fully compliant with EN 81 lift standards, the R10 is durable, easy to adjust, and ideal for both new installations and system upgrades.

Key Features:

Immediate response to pipe rupture or over-speed: Automatically closes when cylinder line pressure drops or downward flow exceeds the preset threshold—ensuring smooth, safe stops

Adjustable closing flow:  Customizable trigger rate via a top-mounted screw to match hydraulic flow requirements

Optional controlled lowering function:  With the “lowering speed” option, post-trip descent continues at a controlled rate—ideal for safe cabin evacuation

Dual-cylinder synchronization:  Pilot port (“DK” option) allows multiple R10s in twin-cylinder setups to close simultaneously for balanced safety

Safety-limit switch available:  Optional "ES" electrical limit switch signals the controller to trigger alarms or shut down once the valve trips

Mountable in any orientation:  Designed for direct installation on the Z-cylinder inlet; universal orientation simplifies retrofits

Wide range of sizes and pressure ratings:  Available in sizes from ¾″ to 3″, handling flows from ~5 to 2,100 L/min and pressures up to 1,500 psi
