The Cla-Val Model 55L-60 (UL Listed, FM approved) Pressure Relief Valve
is a direct-acting, spring loaded, diaphragm type relief valve. The valve may
be installed in any position and will open and close within very close pressure
limits. The bottom plug may be removed and installed in the inlet to convert it
to an angle pattern flow path.
The Model 55L-60 is normally held closed by the force of the compression
spring above the diaphragm. When the controlling pressure applied under the
diaphragm exceeds the spring setting, the disc is lifted off its seat, permitting
flow through the control. When control pressure drops below the spring
setting, the spring forces the control back to its normally closed position. The
controlling pressure is applied to the chamber beneath the diaphragm
through an internal passage. A gauge port is provided for accurate pressure
setting.
Pressure adjustment is done by turning the adjusting screw to vary the spring
