Questions & Answers
Can this be used in a city supplied water as a pressure relief valve to the main supply line to the house
Thank you for the question. Please contact your city water supply department to ensure this should be installed. With this also check local codes to ensure this can be installed. Best regards Everbilt Customer Service.
Which way do you turn the set screw to increase the pressure 10 psi?
Mitch Thank you for your question. To increase pressure, turn the screw clockwise. Regards Everbilt Customer Service
Do you put a cap on the bottom of the relief valve?
NO. The water needs to escape somewhere to relieve the overpressure.
Sure, if you want to turn your well tank into a bomb :D
Does this let air both in and out?
No, it does not.
Can this vale be used to protect a home being feed from a city supplied water? I was considering installing it down stream of a pressure regulator set at 60 psi to protect from thermal expansion when the system is closed up.
The sole purpose of this device it to prevent explosion of your well pressure tank. If you're concerned about thermal expansion in a closed system (e.i. check valve ahead of supply) then I would encourage you to look into getting an expansion tank.
Can this valve be mounted vertically and horizontally?
It can be mounted in any orientation.
Safe for drinking water systems?
Yes. I placed this near the pressure tank on my well system
Yes, it is.
Is this valve adjustable
The relief valve is preset at 75psi but there is a set screw on the bottom of the unit that you can turn to raise or lower the pressure. You can move this about 10 PSI up or down.
