PART 5: BOILER PIPING

A. RELIEF VALVE

Connect discharge piping to safe disposal loca- tion, following guidelines in the WARNING below.

WARNING

To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:

•Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the valve discharge.

•Discharge line must be as short as possible and be the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.

•Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6” above the floor drain where any discharge will be clearly visible.

•The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375 °F or greater.

•Do not pipe the discharge to any place where freezing could occur.

•No shutoff valve shall be installed between the relief valve and boiler, or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any obstruction in the discharge line.

•Test the operation of the valve after filling and pressurizing system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new relief valve.

•Failure to comply with the above guidelines could result in failure of the relief valve to operate, resulting in possibility of severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
