ASME-Code Fast-Acting Pressure-Relief Valves for Steam
- For Use With: Steam
- Temperature Range: -60° to 400° F
These valves meet ASME Code Section I for use with steam power boilers requiring pressure relief above 15 psi. They spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. For remote discharge, attach a drain line to the threaded relief port. Valves have a durable bronze body for a long service life.
EPR rubber seals provide better leak protection than brass seals.
Swivel test levers rotate 360° around the valve for use in areas with limited clearance.
