Raypak 007224F Pressure Relief Valve 3/4 Inch 125psi 1,700,000Btu

The Raypak 007224F is a 3/4 inch, 125 psi pressure relief valve made of metal. It safeguards natural gas-fired HVAC equipment by automatically venting excessive pressure that can accumulate in the gas line. This safety mechanism helps prevent pipe ruptures, explosions, and other potential hazards. The valve boasts a maximum regulatory capacity of 1,700,000 Btu, making it suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial heating applications. It's typically installed upstream of the gas burner in a furnace, boiler, or water heater. During normal operation, the pressure relief valve remains closed. However, if the pressure in the gas line surpasses the preset limit of 125 psi, the valve automatically opens to relieve the pressure and prevent damage to the equipment. In essence, it acts as a safety release valve, ensuring the safe operation of your HVAC system.
