A relief valve, also known as a pressure relief valve or safety valve, is a crucial safety device installed in hot water systems to prevent excessive pressure buildup. Its primary function is to release excess pressure by allowing hot water or steam to escape when the pressure within the system surpasses a predetermined level. This prevents the system from reaching dangerous pressure levels that could otherwise result in a rupture or explosion.

Hot water system relief valves are unsung heroes that play a critical role in safeguarding our homes and properties. By preventing excessive pressure buildup, they ensure that hot water systems operate safely and efficiently. Regular maintenance, combined with an understanding of how relief valves function, contributes to a safer living environment for all. So, the next time you enjoy a warm shower or a hot cup of tea, take a moment to appreciate the hidden safety measures that make it all possible.

Check valves are self-contained, automatic valves, which are used to prevent the reversal of flow in a line. When open and under flow pressure, the checking mechanism will move freely in the media, offering very little resistance and minimal pressure drop. Asahi/America provides two basic types of check valves: swing check valves and ball check valves. A PVC swing check valve utilizes a swinging disc, which requires only minimal back pressure to close the valve. This valve can also be modified, with a lever and weight or spring, to assist in seating faster to eliminate shock. The Asahi/America ball check valve employs a free moving ball, which unseats to permit flow in one direction, but seals against a seat to prevent backflow. Both types of valves may be installed vertically or horizontally.

Before diving into the specifics of relief valves, let’s take a moment to understand the significance of safety in hot water systems. Hot water systems, such as boilers and water heaters, operate under pressure to ensure efficient heating and distribution of hot water throughout a building. However, if the pressure within the system becomes too high, it can lead to catastrophic failures, explosions, or leaks, posing serious risks to both property and human life. This is where relief valves come into play.

Relief valves are designed to operate based on the principle of pressure balance. Inside the relief valve, there’s a spring-loaded mechanism that applies force against a disc or plug. This disc or plug acts as a seal, preventing water from flowing out of the valve under normal operating conditions. When the pressure within the hot water system rises beyond the valve’s set pressure, it overcomes the force of the spring, causing the seal to lift and allowing water or steam to escape. This controlled release effectively reduces the pressure within the system to safe levels.
