For optimum performance, safety valves must be 

serviced regularly and otherwise maintained. So that 

servicing can be properly performed, valves should 

be located in a manner that allows for easy access. 

Sufficient working space should be provided around 

and above the valve to permit access to adjusting 

rings. If two or more valves are located close together, 

the outlets should be parallel so as to offer as much 

protection as possible to personnel repairing, or 

working close to, the safety valve.

Because foreign material passing into and through, 

a safety valve is damaging, the system on which 

the valve is installed must also be inspected and 

cleaned. New systems are prone to contain welding 

beads, pipe scale, and other foreign materials that are 

inadvertently trapped during construction, and they can 

destroy the valve seating surfaces the first few times 

the valve opens.

With regard to weld-end inlet valves, completely 

assembled valves may be installed without 

disassembly being necessary at the time of welding. 

During welding, the valve neck should be insulated 

to reduce thermal stresses. When stress relieving, 

insulation should also be utilized to reduce thermal 

stresses. In service, the valve neck should be 

insulated at least to the point of the inlet neck/valve 

body-bowl juncture.

Safety valves should be installed in a vertical position. 

Nominal tolerance on vertical installation is plus or 

minus 1 degree.

The discharge area of the outlet piping from a safety 

valve should not be less than the area of the outlet 

connection. Where more than one safety valve is 

connected to a common outlet pipe, the area of the 

pipe should not be less than the combined area of the 

outlet connections to the safety valves. 

All safety valve discharges should be piped so that 

the effluent is discharged clear from walkways or 

platforms. Ample provision for gravity drain should be 

made in the discharge pipe at, or near, each safety 

valve where water or condensation, may collect. Each 

valve has an open gravity drain through the body, 

below the level of the valve seat, and this drain should 

be piped to a safe discharge area.

If a silencer is used on a safety valve, it should have 

sufficient outlet area to prevent back pressure from 

interfering with the proper operation and discharge 

capacity of the valve. The silencer or other piping 

components should be constructed so as to avoid the 

possibility of creating corrosion deposit restrictions in 

the steam passages.

Exhausts, drains, and vents must be installed so 

that they will not impose undue stresses on the 

safety valve. Any such stresses can produce body 

distortion and leakage. Therefore, the following 

recommendations are provided:

1.  Discharge piping should not be supported by the 

valve. The maximum weight on the outlet of the 

valve should not exceed the weight of a flange 

and short radius elbow, plus a 12-inch (304.8 mm) 

straight length of standard weight thickness pipe 

(with drip pan).

2.  Clearance between the valve exhaust piping 

and the discharge stack should be sufficient 

to prevent contact when considering thermal 

expansion of the header, valve, and discharge 

stack. Movements due to vibration, temperature 

changes, and valve reaction forces should also 

be considered, to ensure adequate clearance 

between the exhaust piping and the discharge 

stack.

3.  Flexible metal hoses are not generally 

recommended, but if used to connect valve 

outlets to discharge stacks, they must be of 

sufficient length, and be configured/installed in 

such a manner, that they will not become “solid” 

in any one position. Better results are obtained 

if the hoses are installed so that they will permit 

movement by bending, rather than by stretching 

and compressing along their length.

The yoke can be vented to the atmosphere as in 

Figure 4 and 5. Precautions should be taken to vent 

the yoke in such a manner that it will exhaust into a 

safe area to prevent injury to personnel near the valve. 

The yoke vent piping must not be connected to the 

body drain piping.

Do not plug the yoke vent hole or reduce the vent hole 

pipe size, (Reference Table 2), as this could lead to 

valve malfunction and damage.

Precautions should be taken to prevent accumulations 

of foreign material or water in the vent pipe. This vent 

is a critical part of the valve system for controlling 

valve blowdown and lift.
