Features
- Lead free brass body construction
- All stainless steel spring
- Adjustable range 50 to 175 psi
- Maximum temperature 180 degree F
Common Questions
- What pressure does this relieve at?
- This is a calibrated valve — you set it. It adjusts over 100-300 psi, so it has no factory set point. Set it below the working pressure rating of the equipment you are protecting, and re-check the setting after installation.
- Is this ASME rated?
- No. This is a calibrated relief valve and is explicitly not ASME approved, so it may not be used as the code-required safety relief on a boiler or a water heater. It is intended for thermal expansion and general bypass duty. Where an ASME valve is required, specify one that carries the HV stamp.
- Can I use this on potable water?
- Yes. It is certified lead-free to NSF/ANSI 372, which is what plumbing codes require for any device in a drinking-water line.
