Kunkle 267 Relief Valve — 0.110 in² Orifice, Non-Code Liquid

The Kunkle 267 is an extra heavy relief valve for the protection of pumps, compressors, pressure vessels and systems handling corrosive fluids or vapors at high pressure and temperature. It is also suitable for sentinel (warning) service on steam equipment. The 267 is the Model 266 with a high-temperature tungsten alloy spring. Construction is all 316 stainless steel – SS A351-CF8M housing and bonnet, with a top guided design, seats lapped to optical flatness and a ball pivot between disc and spring that corrects misalignment and compensates for spring side thrust. It is supplied with a pressure-tight cap; no lift lever is required for liquid service. This variant is configured for Non-Code Liquid service with a 0.110 in² (0.710 cm²) orifice, relieving 5 to 103 GPM (4 to 3,300 psig) over a set pressure range of 4 to 3,300 PSIG (0.28 to 227 barg). Temperature range is -320°F to 750°F (-195°C to 399°C). IMPORTANT: the full pressure rating applies to FEMALE NPT inlets. Male NPT inlets derate with size and temperature – a 1/2″ male inlet is limited to 1,950 psig at 100°F and 1,055 psig at 750°F, and a 3/4″ male inlet to 1,770 psig at 750°F. Specify your inlet size, inlet type and service temperature when requesting a quote. Maximum back pressure is 400 psig (27.6 barg); back pressure raises the set pressure on a one-to-one basis and reduces capacity, and back pressure above 10% of set pressure is not recommended. Due to the capacity of these valves, thrust calculations should be reviewed and the valve supported accordingly. Inlet sizes 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″, NPT or BSPT, male or female – specify when requesting a quote.
