6.0 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

The Pressure Relief Valve requires no routine maintenance but should be tested regularly. Since the Pressure Relief Valve may not
need to open in normal use it is important that it be inspected at least quarterly for proper function per NFPA 1962 section 8.2. In
particular assure that:
• There is no damage such as cracks or dents
• There is no corrosion
• Setting indications are readable
• The waterway is clear of obstructions
• The valve opens at the set pressure (see below for test instructions)
If any problems are found, the Pressure Relief Valve should be removed from service until the problem is corrected. Any repaired
Pressure Relief Valve must be tested before being placed in service.
The Pressure Relief Valve may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of
WARNING
water. Such damage may to difficult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death.
Any time the Pressure Relief Valve is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be
hydrostatically tested by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use.
It is important that your pressure relief valve is functioning properly at all times while in service. A properly functioning PRV prevents
dangerous situations and reduces possible injury. In order to ensure the PRV is functioning properly, it should be tested regularly.
NFPA 1962 Sections 8.2 and 8.3 set forth the minimum standards and procedures for use of these valves. It is strongly recommended
that you read and follow these procedures. In addition, TFT recommends testing the PRV semi-annually to the following test
procedures.
1. Set up the line with a pressure gage upstream from the appliance and pressure relief valve.
2. Make sure the PRV is set to your operating pressure, and close all appliance outlets.
3. Fill the appliance with water using pressure less than where the PRV is set, being sure to bleed all air out of the system.
4. Carefully increase the pressure on the appliance to the set pressure. Check to see if the valve has opened to allow water to
escape. If the valve has not opened and there is no water, increase the pressure by 5psi, If the valve has not opened, the
valve has failed and should be taken out of service immediately
Any valves taken out of service due to failure should be returned to the factory for repair or replacement. If you have any questions
regarding the testing or maintenance of your pressure relief valve, please call Task Force Tips at 800-348-2686.
