Kunkle 6254 Safety Valve — 3″ 250# Flange x 4″ FNPT, L Orifice (Steam ASME Section IV, Metal Seat)
SKU: KUN-6254-LM-G-FLGNPT-3X4
The Kunkle 6254 is the ASME Section IV version of the 6252, certified for low pressure steam heating boilers. It is the same heavy-duty cast iron valve with a stainless steel semi-nozzle, trim and disc, dual control rings and a bolted bonnet — but it is built and stamped for a single set pressure of 15 PSI, which is not field adjustable. This 3″ 250# Flange x 4″ FNPT variant — L orifice, 3.138 in² — relieves 4921 lb/h of steam at that setting, carrying the ASME Section IV and XIII ‘HV’ stamp and National Board certification. Temperature range -20°F to 406°F. Per ASME, code valves with a cast iron A126 body may not be used in lethal or flammable service. If you need an adjustable set pressure, specify the 6252 instead.
