The Conbraco 13-512-B15 is a high-performance ASME Section IV steam pressure relief valve specifically engineered for low-pressure steam heating boilers and commercial processing equipment. Featuring a 3/4" Female NPT inlet and 3/4" Female NPT outlet, this valve is factory set at 15 PSI to ensure precise overpressure protection. The rugged bronze body construction and modified TFE seat (PTFE faced disc) provide a positive seal and prevent sticking, even in demanding saturated steam environments up to 250°F. With a 407 PPH (pounds per hour) capacity, it effectively manages emergency steam discharge to maintain system integrity. A top-guided design and positive drainage of condensate from the seat area minimize mineral buildup and seat galling, extending the service life of your low pressure steam boiler. Registered in all Canadian provinces (CRN) and National Board certified, the Apollo 13-512-B15 is the industry standard for contractors requiring reliable steam safety relief valve performance in residential and industrial applications.
