Kunkle Valve 6010GFM01ALM0055 Valve

Kunkle Valve 6010GFM01ALM0055 Valve

The Kunkle Valve 6010GFM01ALM0055 is a high-capacity bronze steam safety valve engineered for heavy-duty protection of steam boilers and pressure vessels. Designed with a 1-1/4" NPT male inlet and a 1-1/2" NPT female side outlet, this ASME Section I and VIII certified valve is factory-set at 55 PSI. It features a full nozzle design with brass trim and a pivoting disc that ensures optimal seat alignment even under high thermal stress. The inclusion of a plain lifting lever allows for mandatory manual testing, while the dual control rings provide precise adjustability for blowdown control and opening pressure. Built for saturated steam service up to 406°F, this pressure relief valve utilizes a heavy-duty casting and a top-guided design to reduce friction and eliminate seat galling. For contractors installing steam-reducing stations or autoclaves, this valve provides the flow performance and National Board certified capacity required to meet strict job site safety codes.

Key Benefits

  • ASME Code Compliance: National Board certified for Section I (V) and Section VIII (UV) steam applications, ensuring legal compliance on commercial and industrial boiler projects.
  • Full Nozzle Design: Maximizes flow capacity and performance while protecting the valve body from the high-velocity discharge of 55 PSI steam.
  • Precision Alignment: The pivoting disc design corrects for spring side thrust, maintaining a tight seal and preventing premature simmering or leakage.
  • Durable Construction: Heavy-duty bronze body and brass trim resist corrosion in harsh boiler room environments and saturated steam conditions.
  • Side Outlet Discharge: Threaded side outlet allows for easy piping of discharge away from personnel and equipment, maintaining a safe workspace.

Common Questions

Can this valve be used for air or gas service?
While the 6010 series is dual-rated, this specific configuration (55# Steam) is optimized and certified for steam applications. For air/gas service, ensure the set pressure and capacity ratings meet the specific requirements of your compressor or receiver system.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this bronze valve?
This Kunkle 6010 safety valve is rated for saturated steam service up to 406°F. Exceeding this temperature can compromise the structural integrity of the components and the accuracy of the 55 PSI set point.

How should this relief valve be mounted during installation?
Always mount the valve in a vertical position with the spindle upright. The inlet piping must be as short as possible and never smaller than the 1-1/4" NPT inlet size to prevent excessive pressure drops during relief cycles.
