When the pilot operated safety relief valve is not vented
directly to atmosphere, it is possible to build up
backpressure in the discharge line. This is typical in
situations where several valves manifold into a common
discharge header. Should the discharge line pressure
exceed the valve inlet pressure, it could cause the disc to
lift and allow reverse flow through the main valve. This
situation can be eliminated through the use of the Backflow
Preventer.

A.2 Cleaning
1. If required, clean parts to remove all rust, burrs, scale,
organic matter, and loose particles. Parts are to be free
of any oil or grease except for lubrication as specified in
this instruction.
2. Cleaning agents used shall be such that effective
cleaning is assured without injuring the surface finishes
or material properties of the part.
3. Acceptable cleaning agents include demineralized
water, nonphosphate detergent, acetone, and isopropyl
alcohol. Parts must be blown dry or wiped dry after
cleaning.
4. If you are using cleaning solvents, take precautions to
protect yourself from potential danger from breathing
fumes, chemical burns, or explosion. See the
