Apollo Valve 13-211 Series Bronze Safety Relief Valve, ASME Steam, 5 psi Set Pressure, 3/4" NPT Male x Female
Description
This Apollo Valve 13-211 series steam relief valve is a safety valve for
protecting small to medium low-pressure steam heating boilers. It has a cast
bronze body, a 5 pounds per square inch (psi) relief pressure, a 3/4″ male
National Pipe Thread (NPT) inlet connection and 3/4″ female NPT outlet, and a
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) seat. The valve’s body and nozzle are bronze
and the spring is steel for resistance to corrosion. The flat seat is a PTFE-
faced disc for positive seal, resistance to moisture and high temperatures,
and positive drainage of condensate from the seat area. The valve can be used
in operating temperatures up to 250 degrees F. This relief valve is American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) safety rated for Section IV heating
boilers and is suitable for low-pressure steam heating and supply
boilers.Relief valves remove excess pressure or vacuum from a system. The
valve openings allow fluids or gases to escape to decrease pressure, and then
close once the valve reaches the reseating pressure limit. They also relieve
excess vacuum by opening to release a gas into the system and then closing
after it reaches its low-pressure limit. Some relief valves have an adjustment
mechanism to set the pressure where the valve opens, making it suitable for
various applications. Relief valves are rated according to the volume of
liquid or gas that can flow through them and the material that the valve is
constructed from must be suitable for the fluid or gas, which may be corrosive
or at an extreme temperature, in which it operates. Relief valves are used in
a variety of applications, such as air compressors, petrochemical and chemical
manufacturing, natural gas processing, and power generation.Apollo Valves
manufactures ball, mixing, and relief valves, actuators, water gauges, marine
fittings, heating and plumbing products, and backflow prevention. The company,
founded in 1928 and headquartered in Matthews, NC, meets international
standard International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/IEC standard
17025:2005.
