Kunkle Valve 6010HGM01AAM0100 Valve

The Kunkle Valve 6010HGM01AAM0100 is a heavy-duty ASME Section I steam safety valve engineered for high-capacity overpressure protection in boiler applications. This model, often referenced interchangeably as 6010HGM01-AM0100, features a 1.5-inch MNPT inlet and a 2-inch FNPT side outlet with a 100 PSI set pressure. Built with a bronze body and brass trim, it utilizes a full-nozzle design and metal-to-metal seating lapped to optical flatness for superior seal integrity under extreme thermal cycling. The internal stainless steel spring and dual control rings allow for precise adjustability of opening pressures and blowdown control, ensuring minimal simmer. Rated for a steam capacity of 4,588 lbs/hr, this industrial pressure relief valve includes a plain lifting lever for manual testing, making it a reliable solution for technicians maintaining compliant steam systems, generators, and pressure vessels.

• ASME Code Compliance: National Board certified for ASME Section I (V stamp) and Section VIII (UV stamp) steam service to ensure regulatory site safety.
• High Steam Capacity: Delivers a discharge rate of 4,588 lbs/hr at 100 PSIG, providing rapid pressure relief for large-scale boiler headers.
• Superior Construction: Features a bronze safety valve body with a 0.863 sq. in. "H" orifice, designed to resist corrosion in harsh steam environments.
• Precision Operation: A pivot between the disc and spring compensates for side thrust, maintaining alignment and preventing premature wear during high-cycle demands.

Common Questions

Is the 6010HGM01AAM0100 suitable for air or gas service?
While the 6010 series supports various media, this specific AM-coded variant is factory-configured and certified for ASME Section I steam service. For air/gas relief valve applications, refer to the KM-coded models within the 6010 series.

What is the difference between the 6010HGM01AAM0100 and 6010HGM01-AM0100?
These part numbers represent the same technical specification. The variations in dash placement are simply clerical differences between distributor databases and the manufacturer’s legacy coding system.

Can the set pressure be field-adjusted?
This valve is factory-set and sealed at 100 PSI. Field adjustments should only be performed by authorized repair facilities to maintain the ASME safety relief certification and ensure accurate blowdown performance.
