There are batch serial numbers that apply.
I have to Neap Air purgers that have Hansen PRV's fitted.
Both have been checked after being contacted by their UK Agent, on behalf of Hansen.
Both are within the recal range, so both are being replaced free of charge.
I am awaiting their delivery, which I am advised is 3/4 weeks!
Once received i will swap them over and the existing ones have been recalled!

Hi NH34life
We have been replacing them, pretty costly exercise. I think we had over 200 to be done.

Our Branch has replaced hundreds so far! Our company estimates that 5000 will be getting replaced. Hansen is working along side us through this whole ordeal.

Inspect every valve. Fortunately the suspect ones were installed by the previous service company so it's between our client and them.

We have replaced over 400. On some you make money, some you lose a little. Made more than lost. On jobs where we lost too much, talked to Hansen and gave us a little more upon explanation. If the client asks Hansen to run the warranty through you, Hansen will pay you to do them. These valves had a potentially faulty part and although no valve was found to have failed due to the part to date, Hansen chose to do a $10 million recall than to risk an injury.
