EZ-SRV™ 

Cartridge Pressure-Relief Valve with EZ-Fitting

INTRODUCTION

Hansen EZ-SRV™ cartridge pressure-relief valves protect 
refrigeration pressure vessels and other refrigeration 
system components from excessive pressure. If an 
abnormally high pressure occurs, the cartridge pressure-
relief valve will open to relieve the excess pressure, 
preventing potential damage to equipment and injury 
to personnel.

Hansen EZ-SRV™ relief valves are built in strict 
conformance with both ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel 
Code requirements and ISO 4126 — Safety Devices for 
Protection of Excessive Pressure. Each valve bears the 

ASME code symbol of certification (UV).  Valve capacities 

are rated by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure 
Vessel Inspectors (NB).

Refrigeration pressure-relief valves are recommended 
for replacement at least every five years. However, if a 
relief valve has discharged, it must be replaced as soon 
as possible. Valve replacement with the Hansen EZ-SRV™ 
is fast and easy — saving significant time and expense 
compared to traditional relief valves.

The cartridge valve can be replaced more safely than 

previously available pressure-relief valves. The Hansen 
EZ-Fitting has a ¼˝ NPT connection on the side of 
the body. A ¼˝ gauge valve installed with a tell-tale 
pressure gauge can indicate overpressure of a valve 
and if pressure is present when servicing, the ¼˝ gauge 
valve can also be used to safely bleed-off residual 
pressure between the three-way manifold valve and 
the EZ-SRV™ valve.
