Kunkle Valve 6010FEM01AAM0015 Valve

The Kunkle Valve 6010FEM01AAM0015 is a professional-grade bronze safety relief valve designed for heavy-duty steam service. Engineered specifically for ASME Section I applications, this 1" MNPT x 1-1/4" FNPT valve features a factory set pressure of 15 PSI and a discharge capacity of 482 PPH. As a veteran-preferred side outlet relief valve, it utilizes a full nozzle design with bronze and brass trim to ensure longevity in high-demand boiler systems. The inclusion of a stainless steel spring and a plain lifting lever allows for precise manual testing and consistent overpressure protection. This model, also identified as 6010FEM01-AM0015, is widely used in steam boilers, sterilizers, and pressure-reducing stations where a low pressure steam safety valve is required. The dual control rings provide exceptional adjustability for exact blowdown control, ensuring your equipment operates within safe parameters while minimizing simmer.

• ASME Code Compliance: Meets strict ASME Section I and VIII standards for steam safety, ensuring legal and technical compliance for pressurized systems.
• Durable Bronze Construction: Heavy-duty bronze body and brass trim offer superior corrosion resistance and a long service life in saturated steam environments.
• High Flow Capacity: Rated for 482 PPH at a 15 PSI set pressure, providing reliable venting for small to medium-sized steam generators.
• Precision Alignment: Features a pivot between the disc and spring to correct misalignment and compensate for side thrust, maintaining seat integrity over time.
• Easy Installation: Designed with a wide hex on the valve nozzle to provide maximum wrenching clearance for contractors in tight mechanical spaces.

Common Questions

Is this valve suitable for air or gas service?
While primarily used as a steam safety relief valve under ASME Section I, the Kunkle 6000 series is also National Board certified for ASME Section VIII air and gas applications. However, flow capacities differ depending on the media.

What is the difference between the 6010FEM01AAM0015 and the 6010FEM01-AM0015?
These part numbers are identical. The hyphenated version is often used in legacy catalogs, but both represent the same 1" x 1-1/4" Kunkle side outlet valve with a 15 PSI set point.

Can the set pressure be adjusted in the field?
No. To maintain the ASME V and UV stamps, these valves are factory set and sealed. Any adjustment to the set pressure must be performed by an authorized repair center to ensure system safety and compliance.
