WARNING

Burn or Scald Hazard. Install discharge line to safety relief valve outlet connection to avoid burns, scalding, or 

water damage due to discharge of steam and/or hot water during operation.
Discharge line requirements:

• Use ¾" or larger pipe.
• Use pipe suitable for temperatures of 375°F (191°C) or greater.
• Individual boiler discharge piping shall be independent of other discharge piping.
• Size and arrange discharge piping to avoid reducing safety relief valve relieving capacity below 

minimum relief valve capacity stated on rating plate.

• Run pipe as short and straight as possible to location protecting user from scalding and properly drain 

piping.

• Install union, if used, close to safety relief valve outlet.
• Install elbow(s), if used, close to safety relief valve outlet and downstream of union (if used).
• Terminate pipe with plain end (not threaded).

Refer to local codes and appropriate ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for additional installation 

requirements.
