• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye protection, when working with high-pressure systems.
• Ensure the system is depressurized before attempting any installation, maintenance, or repair.
• Verify that the valve's pressure rating matches or exceeds the maximum operating pressure of your system.
• Do not modify the valve in any way. Unauthorized modifications can compromise safety and void the warranty.
• Ensure the discharge port is directed away from personnel and sensitive equipment.
• This valve is designed for cold water applications only, within a temperature range of 32°F to 150°F (0°C to 65°C).

4. સેટઅપ અને ઇન્સ્ટોલેશન

Proper installation is critical for the safe and effective operation of the safety relief valve.

1. ડિપ્રેસરાઇઝ સિસ્ટમ: Ensure the entire high-pressure system is completely depressurized and isolated from the power source before beginning installation.
2. ઇન્સ્ટોલેશન પોઈન્ટ ઓળખો: The safety relief valve should be installed in a location where it can effectively protect the system from over-pressurization, typically on the discharge side of the pump or before any components that could be damaged by excessive pressure.
3. થ્રેડ કનેક્શન: The valve features a 3/8" NPT inlet. Apply appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or pipe thread compound) to the male threads of the system connection point. Carefully thread the valve into place, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten.
4. ડિસ્ચાર્જ હોસ કનેક્શન: Connect a suitable discharge hose to the 1/4" hose barb side outlet. Secure the hose with a hose clamp to prevent accidental disconnection during discharge. The hose must be capable of handling the full flow and pressure of the system during a relief event and should be routed to a safe drainage area, away from personnel and equipment.
5. સિસ્ટમ તપાસ: Once installed, slowly repressurize the system and check for any leaks around the valve connections. Observe the system pressure to ensure it operates within safe limits.

5. સંચાલન સિદ્ધાંતો

The General Pump 100723 Safety Relief Valve is a passive safety device. It operates automatically when the system pressure exceeds its set relief pressure. When this occurs, the valve will open, discharging excess fluid through its side outlet until the system pressure returns to a safe level. The valve will then automatically re-seat, stopping the discharge.

This valve is designed to relieve pressure between 2500 PSI and 6000 PSI. It is factory-set and does not require field adjustment for different pressure ranges within its specified limits, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent performance.

6. જાળવણી

Regular inspection and maintenance will help ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your safety relief valve.

• દ્રશ્ય નિરીક્ષણ: Periodically inspect the valve for any signs of wear, corrosion, leaks, or damage. Check the discharge hose for kinks, blockages, or deterioration.
• સ્વચ્છતા: Keep the exterior of the valve clean. Ensure the discharge port is free from obstructions.
• કાર્યક્ષમતા તપાસ: If possible and safe to do so, periodically test the valve's functionality by intentionally (and safely) exceeding the system's normal operating pressure to confirm the valve opens and re-seats correctly. This should only be performed by qualified personnel in a controlled environment.
• બદલી: If the valve shows signs of significant wear, damage, or fails to operate correctly during a test, it must be replaced immediately with an identical General Pump 100723 model. Do not attempt to repair internal components.

7. મુશ્કેલીનિવારણ

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the safety relief valve.

• Valve Constantly Discharging:
  સંભવિત કારણો: System pressure is consistently too high; valve is stuck open due to debris; valve spring is fatigued or damaged.
  ઉકેલો: Check system pressure and adjust if necessary; depressurize and inspect valve for debris (replace if necessary); replace the valve.
• Valve Not Discharging During Over-pressure:
  સંભવિત કારણો: Valve is clogged; valve is stuck closed; incorrect valve for system pressure.
  ઉકેલો: Depressurize and inspect valve for blockages (replace if necessary); replace the valve; verify the valve's pressure rating matches system requirements.
• કનેક્શનની આસપાસ લીક:
  સંભવિત કારણો: Improperly applied thread sealant; loose connection; damaged threads.
  ઉકેલો: Depressurize system, reapply thread sealant, and retighten connection; inspect threads for damage and replace if necessary.
