Kunkle Valves is a leading manufacturer of quality safety and relief valve products for industrial and commercial applications. Kunkle products are available for ASME Section I, Section IV and Section VIII services with relief capacities certified by the National Board.

Kunkle Valve is a premier manufacturer of pressure relief valves. In fact, Erastus B. Kunkle invented the safety valve, which he patented in 1875, to prevent overpressure in locomotive engines. For almost 150 years, Kunkle Valve has been known for their high-quality products — many pieces of equipment that require valves, like boilers and air compressors, are shipped from the factory with a Kunkle Valve already installed.

The basic design of Kunkle valves is similar to that of Consolidated valves, with a disc on top of a seating surface and a spring set to relieve at a certain pressure. The major differences between the two types of valves is their size and where they are used: whereas Consolidated makes large, heavy-duty valves for industrial applications like pipelines and refineries, Kunkle makes smaller, less expensive pressure relief valves for lower-pressure commercial applications, like hospital boilers and building sprinkler systems.

Kunkle makes many different types of valves that can be used for many purposes. The entire line includes 30 or so models that are available in sizes ranging from ¼” to 6” x 8”. Within that line, they cover a lot of niche areas. For example, they have valves made of bronze, cast iron, steel, and even 316 stainless steel. Due to the material variety, the valves can be used in many applications, from sanitary applications (hospitals, food machinery) to boilers on ships, to corrosive applications like acids.

Model 6010, which is a side outlet, full nozzle valve that has bronze/brass trim (also available with a Teflon® disc insert [Model 6021] and with stainless steel trim [Model 6030]). The 6010 comes in sizes ½” to 2” and is used primarily on smaller boilers and heating systems.

Model 6252, which is a cast iron valve with an enclosed spring and stainless steel trim. The 6252 ranges from 1 ½” to 6” and is used for larger steam boilers and also sometimes for air service.

Universities are a good example of where Kunkle steam valves might be used. Many universities have a steam plant and need to transfer the generated steam to 30 or 40 buildings through underground piping. Along that piping, they may have different pressure requirements, such as 30 pounds of steam pressure to heat a dorm, but only 2 or 3 pounds to heat steam tables in the cafeteria. In this case, each pressure reducing station would be followed by a Kunkle relief valve.

Many Kunkle valves are designed for air service, such as on air compressors in auto shops and small factories where either low- or high-pressure air is required. For example, at a tire shop that uses mechanical or pneumatic tools, a Kunkle air valve would sit atop the air compressor.

Kunkle also makes valves for liquid service, which are installed on water lines after pumps. For example, in an apartment building that has a sprinkler system, relief valves are there to keep the pressure from getting too high.

Safety is of the utmost importance when dealing with pressure relief valves. The valve is designed to limit system pressure, and it is critical that they remain in working order to prevent an explosion. Explosions have caused far too much damage in companies over the years, and though pressurized tanks and vessels are equipped with pressure relief vales to enhance safety, they can fail and result in disaster.

That’s also why knowing the correct way to test the valves is important. Ongoing maintenance and periodic testing of pressurized tanks and vessels and their pressure relief valves keeps them in working order and keep employees and their work environments safe. Pressure relief valves must be in good condition in order to automatically lower tank and vessel pressure; working valves open slowly when the pressure gets high enough to exceed the pressure threshold and then closes slowly until the unit reaches the low, safe threshold. To ensure the pressure relief valve is in good working condition, employees must follow best practices for testing them including:

If you consider testing pressure relief valves a maintenance task, you’ll be more likely to carry out regular testing and ensure the safety of your organization and the longevity of your

It’s important to note, however, that the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and National Board Inspection Code (NBIC), as well as state and local jurisdictions, may set requirements for testing frequency. Companies are responsible for checking with these organizations to become familiar with the testing requirements. Consider the following NBIC recommendations on the frequency for testing relief valves:

High-temperature hot water boilers (greater than 160 psi and/or 250 degrees Fahrenheit) – pressure test annually to verify nameplate set pressure. For safety reasons, removal and testing on a test bench is recommended

When testing the pressure relief valve, raise and lower the test lever several times. The lever will come away from the brass stem and allow hot water to come out of the end of the drainpipe. The water should flow through the pipe, and then you should turn down the pressure to stop the leak, replace the lever, and then increase the pressure.

One of the most common problems you can address with regular testing is the buildup of mineral salt, rust, and corrosion. When buildup occurs, the valve will become non-operational; the result can be an explosion. Regular testing helps you discover these issues sooner so you can combat them and keep your boiler and valve functioning properly. If no water flows through the pipe, or if there is a trickle instead of a rush of water, look for debris that is preventing the valve from seating properly. You may be able to operate the test lever a few times to correct the issue. You will need to replace the valve if this test fails.

When testing relief valves, keep in mind that they have two basic functions. First, they will pop off when the pressure exceeds its safety threshold. The valve will pop off and open to exhaust the excess pressure until the tank’s pressure decreases to reach the set minimum pressure. After this blowdown process occurs, the valve should reset and automatically close. One important testing safety measure is to use a pressure indicator with a full-scale range higher than the pop-off pressure.

Thus, you need to be aware of the pop-off pressure point of whatever tank or vessel you test. You always should remain within the pressure limits of the test stand and ensure the test stand is assembled properly and proof pressure tested. Then, take steps to ensure the escaping pressure from the valve is directed away from the operator and that everyone involved in the test uses safety shields and wears safety eye protection.

After discharge – Because pressure relief valves are designed to open automatically to relieve pressure in your system and then close, they may be able to open and close multiple times during normal operation and testing. However, when a valve opens, debris may get into the valve seat and prevent the valve from closing properly. After discharge, check the valve for leakage. If the leakage exceeds the original settings, you need to repair the valve.

According to local jurisdictional requirements – Regulations are in place for various locations and industries that stipulate how long valves may operate before needing to be repair or replaced. State inspectors may require valves to be disassembled, inspected, repaired, and tested every five years, for instance. If you have smaller valves and applications, you can test the valve by lifting the test lever. However, you should do this approximately once a year. It’s important to note that ASME UG136A Section 3 requires valves to have a minimum of 75% operating pressure versus the set pressure of the valve for hand lifting to be performed for these types of tests.

Depending on their service and application– The service and application of a valve affect its lifespan. Valves used for clean service like steam typically last at least 20 years if they are not operated too close to the set point and are part of a preventive maintenance program. Conversely, valves used for services such as acid service, those that are operated too close to the set point, and those exposed to dirt or debris need to be replaced more often.

Pressure relief valves serve a critical role in protecting organizations and employees from explosions. Knowing how and when to test and repair or replace them is essential.
