Safety Valve or Pressure Relief Valve for Air Receiver Tank (Screw Type)

Model: S10-L HP

Connecting Thread size: 3/4″

Set pressure: 150 psi

Receiver tanks are required by JKKP authority to have a pressure relief valve and a pressure gauge to maintain safety.

A safety valve (also called relief valve) is a valve mechanism for the automatic release of air from a pressure vessel when the pressure exceeds preset limits.

Any compressed air pressure vessel must be protected from an over-pressure situation – the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) approved by DOSH must not be exceeded. A pressure relief valve is used to limit the pressure build-up in a system, by automatically relieved by a spring-loaded valve, actuated by the static pressure upstream of the device. The valve opens in proportion to the increase in pressure over the opening pressure.
