SAFETY
The safety of lives and property often depends
on the proper operation of the safety valves.
Consequently, the valves should be kept
clean and should be tested periodically and
reconditioned to make sure they function
properly.

emphasis.
These precautionary statements are not
exhaustive. Emerson cannot possibly
know, evaluate and advise customers of all
conceivable ways in which tasks might be

However, Emerson does offer the following
general safety precautions:
- Hearing and eye protection should be used
when working on a valve which is under
pressure.
- Never strike a valve which is under pressure.
Premature actuation can result.
- Never stand in front of the discharge outlet
of a pressure relief valve which is under
pressure.
Always approach and use any pressure relief
valve with great care.
