| Use advice for data set | Scope: This Environmental Product Declaration refers to a declared unit of 1 kg of the average valve of the brass family - type '340' '56' and 'Serie 9510' - produced at the production site of VIR - Valvoindustria Ing. Rizzio S.p.A. in Via circonvallazione 10, 13018 Valduggia (VC), Italy. System boundary: Type of the EPD: cradle to gate with options Modules A1-A3, A4 and A5 Here there is the production of the necessary raw materials and energies, including all corresponding upstream chains and the actual procurement transports. Furthermore, the entire manufacturing phase was mapped, including the treatment of production waste until the endofwaste status (EoW) was reached. In addition the distribution transports (A4) and the installation (with also packaging waste generated during installation) was taken into account. Modules C1-C4 The modules include the environmental impacts for dismantling of the valve and the treatment of the waste categories until end-of-waste status (EoW) is reached, including the associated transports at the end of the product life cycle. Module D Identification of the benefits and impacts of the product outside the system boundary. Recycling of metal scrap results in credits of the raw material. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Model 340: Water from 0°C to 150°C and air from -10°C to 150°C Model 56: Water from 0°C to 150°C Model 9510: Water from -10°C to 130°C | ||

| General comment on data set | The process starts with the manufacturing of raw brass pieces for valves obtained from casting and hot-moulding then the pieces are mechanically worked and assembled with valves components (e.g. handles, gaskets, balls, fittings, etc.). Declared units refer to three different types of valves - 340, 56 and Serie 9510. Every valve typology contains valves with different dimensions and weights. However, the same manufacturing process and the similarities of valves allow a declared unit based on a mass unit of products. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The process starts with the manufacturing of raw brass pieces for valves obtained from casting and hot-moulding then the pieces are mechanically worked and assembled with valves components (e.g. handles, gaskets, balls, fittings, etc.).Declared units refer to three different types of valves - 340, 56 and Serie 9510. Every valve typology contains valves with different dimensions and weights. However, the same manufacturing process and the similarities of valves allow adeclared unit based on a mass unit of products. Technical data: The valves are tested according to EN 12266-1 standard. Declared unit: The functional unit is constituted as the weighted average between the three type of valves. The mass of assembled products corresponding to each family has been used as the weight of the average. | ||
