Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about 2″ Tri Clamp PRV 15 or 30 PSI Pressure Relief Valve and Vacuum Breaker Stainless Steel 304
What is a 2″ Tri Clamp PRV?
A 2″ Tri Clamp PRV (Pressure Relief Valve) is a safety device that helps to prevent overpressure in a system by releasing excess pressure, ensuring that equipment isn’t damaged. It is designed to fit standard 2-inch Tri Clamp connections, making it ideal for various applications in industries such as brewing, food processing, and pharmaceuticals.
What is the difference between the 15 PSI and 30 PSI models?
The primary difference between the 15 PSI and 30 PSI models is their set pressure. The 15 PSI model will open to relieve pressure once it exceeds 15 PSI, while the 30 PSI model will do so at 30 PSI. Users should select the model that suits their specific pressure requirements for optimal safety and efficiency.
What materials are used in this Pressure Relief Valve?
This Pressure Relief Valve is made from Stainless Steel 304, which is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and suitability for sanitary applications. It is a widely used material in food and beverage industries due to its ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
Can this valve be used as a vacuum breaker?
Yes, this valve can act as a vacuum breaker, allowing air to enter the system when a vacuum condition occurs. This function helps to prevent potential damage caused by negative pressure and maintains system integrity.
What are some common applications for this PRV?
The 2″ Tri Clamp PRV can be used in various applications, including brewing, winemaking, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other systems where pressure control is critical. It is particularly useful in sanitary environments where cleanliness and corrosion resistance are needed.
Is installation straightforward?

Simply attach the valve to a compatible tri-clamp flange and ensure that it is properly tightened and sealed. However, it is recommended to consult a professional for installation if you are unsure.
How do I choose the right PSI rating for my application?
Choosing the right PSI rating depends on the specific requirements of your application. Consider the maximum operating pressure of your system and select a PRV that will protect against overpressure while allowing several PSI of safety margin. If in doubt, consult with a technical expert or refer to your equipment’s specifications.
What kind of maintenance does this PRV require?
The 2″ Tri Clamp PRV requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspections for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage are recommended.
