Kunkle Relief Valve OverviewWhen it comes to industrial and commercial safety and relief valve products, Kunkle’s valve’s catalog is second to none in steam, air, gas, and liquid applications.

Kunkle relief valves range in size from ¼” NPT to 6” flange and are suitable in cryogenic and high temperatures up to 800°F environments at vacuum to 7,500 psig pressure. Kunkle Valve’s code certifications meet several global and national board standards, including ASME Section I, Section IV, and Section VIII, PED, CRN, TU and Chinese, as well as non-code requirements.

Relief Valves for Steam ServiceSteam supplies heat for industrial and chemical processes and also is used to heat buildings, supply mechanical energy, and drive mechanical equipment. Steam moves from the boiler to the end point, then heats by direct heating or indirect heating through a heat exchanger. Kunkle steam relief valves are critical to protecting equipment such as boilers, steam lines, and pressure valves, from being over-pressurized.

Relief Valves for Air ServiceKunkle designs valves for air service, for example for air compressors in mechanical shops and small factories where either low-pressure or high-pressure air is required. NASVI stocks Kunkle relief valves for air service in iron, steel and bronze for a variety of uses.

Relief Valves for Liquid ServiceKunkle also makes valves for liquid service, which provide bypass relief in a variety of applications and liquid types.

More About KunkleKunkle Valve is a renowned pressure relief valve manufacturer. Erastus B. Kunkle invented the safety valve to prevent overpressure in locomotive engines. Kunkle patented it in 1875. Since that time, Kunkle has earned its reputation for high-quality valves, and other equipment manufacturers ship their products with Kunkle’s valves pre-installed.

NASVI has stocked Kunkle safety relief valves since we opened in 1975, so we are confident when we call ourselves Kunkle safety valve experts. Every day we fulfill orders for our customers looking for Kunkle relief valves for steam, air, gas, and liquid applications.

Pressure relief valves are designed to protect equipment from overpressure. The valve should be handled with care, not subject to heavy shock loads, and protected to prevent dirt from getting inside. Failure to do so could result in property damage or serious injury to personnel.

Mount the valve in a vertical position so that the valve body is self-draining. If a body drain port is provided, make sure it is open when required by the ASME code. Do not plug any bonnet vent openings. The inlet piping should be as short as possible, with no elbows, and equal to or greater than the size of the pressure relief valve inlet connection. This will help limit the inlet pressure drop to 3% or less when the valve is relieving.

When discharge piping is connected to valve outlet, make sure it is self-draining when a body drain port is not used. The valve should not be connected to any discharge pipe that contains pressure before the valve opens or to any pipe where the pressure build-up is greater than 10% of the set pressure when the valve is open and relieving. Discharge piping other than a short tailpipe must be supported by something other than the valve. For steam service, a drip pan elbow or flexible connection between the valve and the pipe should be used to prevent excessive pipe stress, due to thermal expansion, from being imposed on the valve body.

For threaded valves, apply a small amount of pipe thread sealing compound to external threads only. Do not put any sealing compound on the first thread or any internal threads. To do so may cause the sealing compound to enter the valve and cause seat leakage. Use wrench flats provided to tighten the valve to the connecting pipe. Do not use the valve body or bonnet and do not over-tighten. To do so may cause valve leakage.

Maintain a system operating pressure at least 5 psig or 10% below the set pressure of the valve – whichever is greater. Operating too close to the valve set pressure will cause seat leakage and will shorten the time between valve maintenance.

Do not use the safety valve as a control valve to regulate system operating pressure. Excessive operation will cause the seat to leak and will require more frequent valve maintenance.

ASME Code-stamped valves equipped with lift levers are designed to be operated only when the system pressure is 75% of the set pressure or greater. When hand operating the valve, hold it open long enough to purge any foreign matter from the seat area. If a cable or wire is attached to the lift lever for remote actuation, make sure the direction of pull is the same as it would be if the lever were pulled directly by hand.

Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis. We recommend an initial inspection interval of 12 months. Depending on the service conditions and the condition of the valve, the suggested inspection interval may decrease or increase.

Emergency situations are not the only times relief valves are active; once installed they continuously regulate the flow of substance. They can also be pre-set to open when the pressure or temperature gets to a certain point that may be dangerous. Generally valves are placed on or near the pump head of the hose, pipe or tube. A wide variety of relief valve designs exist, although most resemble ball-check valves, swing check valves or diaphragm valves.

This last is particularly useful when controlling a flow of fluids that contains suspended solids. Most relief valves are spring operated, as are the majority of check valves. One specialized type of relief valve is known as a vacuum relief valve. As opposed to a normal relief valve, which relieves high pressure, a vacuum relief valve is used to relieve dangerously low pressures, or vacuums, by inserting air or an inert gas.

Like every other type of check valve, relief valves may be constructed from a variety of materials, including PVC, brass, ductile iron, copper, polyethylene, polypropylene, aluminum, steel, stainless steel and rubber. Which raw substance is used to produce each relief valve depends on the environment said relief valve will be in. The wrong product could result in erosion or contamination of the process stream. However, as long as research is done, finding the appropriate type of relief valve is possible. Every plumbing or fluid transfer application in the industrial, commercial and domestic arenas employ or will employ check valves. In fact, check valves of all kinds are an essential part of every day life. Because they need not be supervised to function and prevent product malfunction, check valves are not only desirable but often required by law to ensure the safety of water, gas and pressure applications.

Let us show you how we can reduce your costs, increase efficiency, and ensure safety. Testing, repair, and certification of existing valves can be completed without having the high cost of replacement.

Extreme Force Valve provides valve testing and repair services on all brands of safety/relief valves including Kunkle, Consolidated, Farris, Anderson Greenwood Crosby, Leser, and many more. We are certified for VR Repairs, and Valve T/O Certification ensuring that your valves conform to ASME Code and NBIC Requirements when repairing.

The National Board requires that the owner of a facility has access to repair and recertification documents for pressure management equipment. Our pressure management experts provide relief valve asset audits to generate, maintain, and utilize applicable data for use in your facility’s maintenance planning activities and recertification for all your PRV’s.  Customers have real-time access to all documentation through a secure portal.
