Cast Iron Liquid Relief Valves
Model descriptions
Model 91: Bronze trim, with pressuretight
cap. Suitable for maximum back pressure of
60 psig1. Variation "03" for field adjustability.
Model 218: Bronze trim, UL and FM
approved for fire pump installations. Special
design offers minimum set pressure of 60
psig
1
. Easily adjustable with handwheel to
200 psig (175 psig with optional 125# inlet
flange).
Model 228: Bronze trim, with pressuretight
cap. UL and FM approved for fire pump
installations. Suitable for maximum back
pressure of 60 psig
1
. Supplied with
handwheel.
Features
Bolted bonnet permits easy inspection
and servicing without removal from
system.
Quality cast iron body and bonnet, insert
and disc are available in either bronze or
Stainless Steel (SS) and lapped for
optimum performance.
Springs are steel with plating for
corrosion protection.
High lift, wing-guided disc offers high
relieving capacity. Pivot between disc and
spring corrects misalignment and
compensates for spring side thrust.
Each Kunkle valve is tested and inspected
for pressure setting and leakage.
Notes:
1. Back pressure increases set pressure on a one
to one basis, and reduces capacity. Back
pressure in excess of 10% of set pressure is not
recommended.
2. For other pressure and temperature limits,
consult ANSI B16 cast iron flange standards.
