KUNKLE 6010EDE01-AM0025 Safety Relief Valve 3/4 x 1 Inch 25 Psi

Kunkle 6010EDE01-AM0025 safety relief valve is used in industrial settings, chemical processing plants and manufacturing facilities. This valve protects pressurised systems by releasing excess pressure to prevent potential damage or catastrophic failures. It ensures the safety and integrity of equipment and processes.

Working Mechanism:

• When the system pressure surpasses the predetermined level.
• The relief valve's spring-loaded mechanism activates.
• This lifting action raises the disc from its seat.
• Excess pressure is allowed to escape through the outlet.
• Once the pressure normalises, the disc re-seats, closing the valve.
• This prevents overpressure damage and ensures system safety.

Features:

• This Kunkle pressure relief valve has a bronze body to ensure corrosion resistance.
• It features a disc material crafted from B21 (brass) alloy 485 for efficient flow and durability in pressure relief applications.
• This relief valve comes with a 3/4 inch MNPT inlet for compatibility with standard plumbing connections.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do I check leaks on a safety relief valve?

A.

• Examine the relief valve for any visible signs of leaks, such as water stains or moisture around the valve.
• Close attention to the valve while it's in operation. If you hear hissing sounds, it may indicate a leak.
• Apply a leak detection solution or a mixture of soap and water on the valve connections and joints.
• Watch for the formation of bubbles. If bubbles appear, it indicates gas or fluid escaping, signalling a leak.
• Inspect the outlet pipe connected to the relief valve for any signs of water or fluid, indicating a potential leak.

Q. How do I clean and maintain Kunkle 6010EDE01-AM0025 safety relief valve?

A.

• Ensure safe system shutdown and pressure release.
• Disconnect and remove the relief valve.
• Inspect for debris and foreign particles.
• Soak components in a suitable cleaning solution.
• Gently scrub to remove stubborn deposits.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Inspect and replace worn seals or gaskets.

Q. How do I prevent this Kunkle pressure relief valve from tearing / wearing?

A.

• Conduct routine visual inspections to identify any signs of wear, tear or corrosion on the valve components.
• Install the relief valve according to the manufacturer's guidelines to prevent stress on the valve body and connections.
• Ensure the relief valve is correctly sized for the application to prevent excessive strain during pressure relief events.
• Set the relief valve's pressure within the specified range to prevent overloading and premature wear.
• Ensure the valve is made from materials compatible with the fluid or gas it is handling to prevent corrosion or deterioration.

Q. How do I install this relief valve?

A.

• Choose a relief valve based on system requirements.
• Determine and mark the optimal installation location.
• Prepare the piping system for cleanliness and alignment.
• Safely shut down the system and release pressure.
• Apply thread sealant to threaded connections.
• Attach the relief valve, ensuring tight connections.
• Connect drain piping if the valve has a drain port.
• Conduct a pressure test to check for leaks.
• Adjust relief pressure according to system requirements.
• Gradually start the system, monitoring the relief valve.
