Installation
Only qualified personnel shall install or service a
relief valve or backpressure regulator. relief valve
or backpressure regulator should be installed,
operated and maintained in accordance with
international and applicable codes and regulations
and Emerson Process Management Regulator
Technologies, Inc. instructions.
If using a relief valve or backpressure regulator
on a hazardous or flammable fluid service,
personal injury and property damage could
occur due to fire or explosion of vented fluid
that may have accumulated. To prevent such
injury or damage, provide piping or tubing to
vent the fluid to a safe, well-ventilated area
or containment vessel. Also, when venting a
hazardous fluid, the piping or tubing should be
located far enough away from any buildings or
windows so to not create a further hazard and
the vent opening should be protected against
(1)(2)
anything that could clog it.
Personal injury, equipment damage or leakage
due to escaping fluid or bursting of pressure-
containing parts may result if this relief valve or
backpressure regulator is overpressured or is
installed where service conditions could exceed
