 Body Pressure Relief Valve
Body Pressure Relief Valve with or without Bursting Disc

Body Pressure Relief Valve ▪ Blow-off pressure is set via screw-type body
▪ Stellited seat
Body Pressure Relief Valve with or without ▪ Lead-sealed screw prevents unauthorised manipulation of
Bursting Disc set blow-off pressure
▪ The valves satisfy the safety requirements of Annex I of
the European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/
UGS EU (PED) for fluids in Groups 1 and 2.
▪ The valves do not have a potential internal source of
ignition and can be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres, Group II, category 2 (zones 1+21) and
category 3 (zones 2+22) to ATEX 2014/34/EU.

Variants
▪ Bursting disc (UGSV and UGSVA)
▪ Blocking device
▪ With lockable shut-off valve

Product benefits
▪ Protects the valve body against excessive loads and
damage, particulary on valves in pressure seal design.
▪ Unlike other solutions, e.g. balancing hole in the seat, UGS
enables the gate valve to be used for both flow directions.
▪ Long service life and high functional reliability ensured by
– Robust design made of forged steel.
– Hard-faced seat made of wear-resistant and
corrosion-proof Stellite.
– Spring made of corrosion-proof nickel-base alloys.
Main applications
▪ Protection of gate valve bodies against excessive loads, Related documents
particularly those of gate valves in pressure seal design.

Installation instructions
A body pressure relief valve is necessary if, with the gate
valve closed, there is a danger of the liquid trapped inside the
valve body heating up and causing an unacceptable pressure
increase inside the valve. A warning sign to this effect is
affixed to the yoke arm of the gate valve, near the name plate.

7) Welding groove 8) When connecting to pipe (710), cut

here and bevel the face to obtain a
welding groove.
9) Connection
branch (131.2)

The body pressure relief valve must not be welded directly

to the connection branch (131.2) of the gate valve but must be
connected to it via a pipe (710) in a vertical, upright position
outside the insulating material. The minimum distance to the
insulation is 200 mm.

The cover (160) of the blocking device must be fitted for

pressure testing only. Immediately remove the cover after
pressure testing; otherwise, the body pressure relief valve will
not respond in an emergency.

The blow-off pressure of the body pressure relief valve is

set at the factory. The screw is lead-sealed against
unauthorised manipulation.

Observe all safety information given in operating manual

7300.8.
