1 INSTALLATION
121FSV pressure and vacuum relief valves
must be mated with the appropriate flange.
1. These valves must be gasketed and bolted
to a flat machined horizontal flange. Bolts
must be tightened uniformly to ensure a
good seal.
2. The exhaust pipework which is to be
gasketed and bolted to the horizontal flange
must not be supported by the valve, i.e.
these valves are not designed to carry any
external loads.
3. This valve does not contain any internal
packing. Therefore, internal checks should
not be necessary.
4. It is recommended that carbon steel valves
be given a coat of paint immediately after
installation is complete. Apply paint to
external surfaces only.
