Pressure relief valves are a critical part of any distribution system across the areas of irrigation, water supply, building, and fire services. Colin Kirkland shares his tips for accurate installation and set-up.
Pressure relief valves are designed to relieve excess pressure from a network under high pressure conditions. Correct installation is essential for pipeline performance and the ongoing maintenance of your system.
If these valves are not set correctly, it can apply excessive pressure to a network – resulting in potential damage to your system. The purpose of this how-to is to demonstrate best practice when setting the Bermad 43Q pressure relief valve.
The Bermad 43Q pressure relief valve
The Bermad 43Q pressure relief valve is a two way fast acting pressure relief pilot. The valve is hydraulically operated, and relieves excessive line pressure when it rises above the preset maximum.
It controls the flow of water to the main valve, which in this instance, is the Bermad 400 series valve.
Upon reaching excessive pressure, the valve vents water from the cover to the downstream of the valve. This allows the valve to open, venting the excessive pressure from the valve inlet.
Different sized pilots are used depending on the size of the valve. Ensuring this compatibility allows for a fast acting system. If you require support when selecting the perfect pilot for your pipeline, get in touch with the Bermad team for guidance.
How to set the valve
