“Relief valves should be inspected each time the container is filled but no less than once a year. If there is any doubt about the condition of the relief valve, it must be replaced.”
Major Factors to determine the “Life” of Relief Valves include:
- Water/Ice Accumulation
- Corrosion
- Dirt – Debris
- Damage
- Normal Aging
Eye protection must be worn when inspecting relief valves under pressure. Never look directly into a relief valve under pressure or place any part of your body where the relief valve discharge could impact it. In some cases, a flashlight and a small mirror are suggested to assist when making visual inspections.
