Kunkle Valve 6010GFM01AAM0150 Valve

The Kunkle Valve 6010GFM01AAM0150 is a high-capacity bronze safety relief valve specifically engineered for ASME Section I steam service. Featuring a 1.25" MNPT inlet and a 1.5" FNPT side outlet, this model is factory-set at 150 PSIG with a certified relieving capacity of 4234 lbs/hr. This heavyweight steam safety valve utilizes a G orifice and a full nozzle design with a stainless steel spring to ensure consistent pop-action and tight shutoff in demanding industrial environments.

Designed as a direct replacement for the 6010GFM01-AM0150, the unit incorporates dual control rings for precise blowdown adjustment and a pivot-style disc-to-spring interface that compensates for side thrust. The metal-to-metal seat is lapped to optical flatness, minimizing simmer and leakage in high-pressure steam boilers and pressure-reducing stations. HVACR technicians and contractors rely on this Kunkle 6010 series valve for its heavy-duty casting and wide hex nut nozzle, which provides ample clearance for wrenching during critical installations.

• ASME Section I Certified: National Board certified for V and UV code requirements, specifically for steam boiler applications.
• High Flow Capacity: Delivers 4234 lbs/hr of steam relief, making it ideal for large-scale pressure vessels and accumulators.
• Enhanced Alignment: The pivot between the disc and spring corrects for potential misalignment, ensuring uniform seat loading.
• Durable Construction: Features bronze/brass trim and a high-grade stainless steel spring for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity.
• Manual Testing: Equipped with a plain lever assembly for required periodic functional testing under pressure.

What is the difference between the 6010GFM01AAM0150 and the 6010GFM01-AM0150?
These parts are technically identical. The AAM suffix represents the modern SKU format used by Kunkle Valve (now under Emerson/Pentair), but compatibility and performance specifications remain the same.

Can this valve be installed in a horizontal orientation?
No. For proper drainage and to ensure the set pressure remains accurate per ASME code, this safety valve must be installed in a vertical position with the spindle upright.

Is this relief valve suitable for air or gas service?
While the 6010 series can handle air/gas, the AAM0150 configuration is specifically calibrated and ASME Section I stamped for steam applications. Always verify your specific media requirements before installation.
