Conbraco Industries 19-KEDA-15 Valve

The Conbraco Industries 19-KEDA-15 Valve is a Section I steam pressure relief valve engineered for critical applications requiring strict adherence to ASME boiler codes. This safety valve features a 3/4" male NPT inlet and a 1" female NPT outlet, facilitating straightforward integration into various steam headers and manifold configurations. Factory-set at 15 PSI relief pressure, it provides a discharge capacity of 310 lb/hr, making it essential for low-pressure steam boilers and industrial process piping. The internal construction utilizes brass trim and a Teflon (PTFE) seat, which ensures positive shut-off and resists the corrosive effects of continuous steam exposure. This Apollo 19 series valve is designed for high-cycle reliability in HVACR environments where precise overpressure protection is required for safety and code compliance. Contractors can rely on this technical-grade relief valve to maintain system integrity under rigorous thermal conditions.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• ASME Section I Certified: Specifically tested and rated for safety-critical boiler pressure relief according to strict industry standards.
• Superior Seating: The Teflon seat provides a reliable seal and resists sticking or degradation better than standard metal-to-metal seats.
• Optimized Flow: Designed with a high-lift mechanism to achieve a 310 pounds per hour capacity, efficiently managing thermal expansion.
• Durable Construction: The corrosion-resistant brass trim ensures the internal components remain functional even in high-moisture steam environments.
• Installation Flexibility: The 3/4" NPT male inlet and 1" NPT female outlet allow for easy mounting and discharge piping alignment.

Common Questions:

What is the difference between Section I and Section IV steam valves?
Section I valves, like the 19-KEDA-15, are designed for power boilers and high-pressure applications where the code requires specific capacity certifications and materials, whereas Section IV valves are typically for heating boilers.

Can the 15 PSI setpoint be adjusted in the field?
No, this safety valve is factory-set and sealed at 15 PSI. Tampering with the seal or adjusting the pressure in the field is not recommended and would violate ASME code compliance.

Is this valve compatible with HVAC steam heating systems?
Yes, this steam pressure relief valve is frequently used in HVAC steam-based applications and machinery that require a 15 PSI relief point to protect downstream components.
