About Kunkle

Kunkle's product line includes aluminium, bronze and stainless steel safety relief valves. The brand's safety valves open at a specific pressure to protect pumps and pipelines from exceeding stress limits. These relief valves have an aluminium / bronze / stainless steel body with a stainless steel seat for leak-proof performance. These relief valves are factory preset and sealed to prevent tampering, ideal for harsh industrial environments. They can handle pressures up to 5500 psi and temperatures up to 185 degrees F.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right Kunkle safety valve for my application?

The selection of a safety valve depends on the type of fluid being handled, the operating temperature & pressure and the flow rate.

How do Kunkle relief valves work?

Kunkle relief valves open automatically when the pressure in the system exceeds the set pressure of the valve. These valves then release the excess pressure to prevent damage to the system or equipment.

What is the difference between the brand's relief valve and safety valve?

Kunkle relief valves and safety valves are both types of pressure relief valves. The main difference is that relief valves are used for liquid applications, while safety valves are used for gas or vapour applications.

Q How do I troubleshoot Kunkle safety relief valves?

If a safety relief valve is not operating correctly, it may be due to improper installation, a buildup of dirt / debris or worn-out parts.

How do I maintain these Kunkle Valves?

Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure optimal performance of Kunkle Valves. Following manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices can extend the lifespan of the valves.

What is the significance of stainless steel discs in Kunkle safety relief valves?

The brand's stainless steel safety relief valves provide consistent performance. The stainless steel discs ensure that the relief valve functions as intended when pressure thresholds are reached. Stainless steel retains its strength and integrity even at high temperatures and pressures.
