Servicing the Relief Valve
!
WARNING
Depressurize valve before servicing.
No special tools are required to service the assembly.
Before servicing, turn off the water or close the shutoff valves.
Remove the flood sensor and activation module if the relief
valve outlet needs to be cleaned of debris.
The following procedures provide information for replacing the
diaphragm, the relief valve disc, and the relief valve seat. Visually
inspect these parts to determine if a replacement or cleaning is
required.
Disassembling the Relief Valve
1. Remove the relief valve cover bolts while holding the cover
down.
2. Turn the cover counterclockwise by one quarter, and lift it
straight off while still applying pressure to the cover with
your hand.
!
WARNING
Apply pressure to the cover as you lift it straight off. Due to
the release of pressure when removing the cover, the relief
valve spring may eject quickly.
3. Remove the relief valve assembly (includes cover O-ring,
stem and diaphragm assembly).
4. Remove the relief valve spring.
5. Remove the pressed-in relief valve seat and seat O-ring.
Replacing the Diaphragm
1. Using a wrench, loosen the diaphragm assembly by turning
the hex bolt counterclockwise.
2. Remove the diaphragm and replace with a new diaphragm
if required, or clean the existing diaphragm. The molded
step of the diaphragm should point down toward the relief
valve stem.
3. Using a wrench, reassemble the diaphragm assembly
by turning the hex bolt clockwise to tighten.
Replacing the Relief Valve Disc and Seat
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw in the relief
valve disc and replace the disc if required, or clean the
existing disc.
2. Place the screw back into the relief valve disc and tighten.
3. Replace the relief valve seat with a new seat if required, or
clean the existing seat.

grooves in the relief valve body, and turn the cover clockwise
by one quarter to seat the cover.
6. Using a wrench, place the bolts back into the cover and
tighten.
!
CAUTION
If the cover does not lie flat against the relief valve body, the
diaphragm assembly is not installed properly and damage
can result. Remove the bolts and cover, realign the dia
phragm assembly, and place the cover back on the relief
valve body.
7. Reinstall the flood sensor and activation module if removal
was required.
