InstallatIon and MaIntenance InstructIons

2 sTorage and handling

Valves are often on hand at the job site months 
before they are installed� unless stored 
properly and protected, valve performance may 
be affected adversely�
Rough handling and dirt may damage or 
cause misalignment of the valve parts� It is 
recommended that the valves be left in their 
original shipping containers and that they be 
stored in a warehouse or at a minimum on a 
dry surface with a protective covering until they 
are used�

3.1 Care in handling

Pressure relief valves must be handled 
carefully and never subjected to sharp impact 
loads� They should not be struck, bumped 
or dropped� Rough handling may alter the 
pressure setting, deform valve parts and 
affect seat tightness and valve performance 
adversely�
When it is necessary to use a hoist, the chain 
or sling should be placed around the valve body 
and bonnet in a manner that will ensure that 
the valve is in a vertical position to facilitate 
installation� The valve should never be lifted or 
handled using the lifting lever inlet and outlet 
protectors should remain in place until the 
valve is ready to be installed on the system�

1 inTroduCTion

Crosby Style JOS-E/JBS-E pressure relief 
valves have been selected for installation 
because of their performance features, 
reliability and ease of maintenance�
adherence to the installation and maintenance 
procedures specified herein will provide the 
utmost in safety, a minimum of maintenance, 
and a long service life� Crosby Style JOS-E, 
JBS-E and JlT-E valves are manufactured 
in accordance with the requirements of 
Section VIII Pressure Vessels, aSME Boiler 
and Pressure Vessel Code� Style JOS-E is a 
conventional closed bonnet valve� Style JBS-E 
has a balanced bellows for minimizing the 
effect of back pressure�
Style JlT-E is a high performance valve 
designed specifically for liquid service� 
The JlT-E features patented contoured liquid 
trim in a standard JOS-E/JBS-E envelope�

3.3 inlet piping

Pressure relief valves should be mounted 
vertically in an upright position either directly 
on a nozzle from the pressure vessel or on a 
short connecting fitting that provides direct and 
unobstructed flow between the vessel and the 
valve� Installing a pressure relief valve in other 
than this recommended position might affect 
its operation adversely� Where rounded or 
beveled approaches cannot be provided ahead 
of the valve it is recommended that one size 
larger nozzle or fitting be used� a valve should 
never be installed on a fitting having a smaller 
inside diameter than the inlet connection of the 
valve�
Inlet piping (nozzles) must be designed to 
withstand the total resultant forces due 
to the valve discharging at the maximum 
accumulated pressure and the expected piping 
loads� The magnitudes of the bending moment 
exerted on the inlet piping will depend on the 
configuration and method of supporting the 
outlet piping�
Many valves are damaged when first placed 
in service because of failure to clean the 
connections properly when installed� Both 
the valve inlet and the vessel and/or line on 
which the valve is mounted must be cleaned 
thoroughly of all foreign material� The inlet 
connection bolts or studs should be drawn 
down evenly to avoid straining the valve body 
with possible distortion of the nozzle flange or 
base�

3.2 inspection

Pressure relief valves should be inspected 
visually before they are installed to ensure that 
no damage has occurred during shipment or 
while in storage�
all protective material, sealing plugs and any 
extraneous material inside the valve body or 
nozzle must be removed�
The valve nameplate and other identifying tags 
should be checked to ensure that the particular 
valve is being installed at the location for which 
it was intended�
The valve seals protecting the spring setting 
and ring adjustments should be intact� If seals 
are not intact, the valve should be inspected, 
tested and seals installed properly before use�
