C A U T I O N
Because the 1511 valve is not totally enclosed,
upon actuation the system media will escape
from the following locations:
(1) The valve outlet which is the main
discharge area.
(2) The open yoke will also allow a small
amount of steam to exhaust vertically.
(3) The drain hole at the base of the valve.

Orifice Capacities

ASME, B & PVC, Section VIII rating - 2001 Edition

Standard Cubic Feet per minute of Air (60F) at 10%
overpressure or 3 psig, whichever is greater
W=18.331*A*P*K
K=.877
A= flow area in sq. in.
P= (1.10*set pressure) + 14.7 or
P= (3 + set pressure) + 14.7

Not for use on superheated steam.
