Type H120 Relief Valve
Introduction
The Type H120 direct-operated relief valve registers directly
on a spring-opposed poppet assembly which includes a
Nitrile (NBR) disk. When the inlet pressure increases above
the spring setting, the poppet and disk assembly is pushed
away from the metal seat. Springs are available that provide
various xed relief pressures from 35 to 350 psig / 2.4 to
24.1 bar.
With this simple operation and wide spring setting selection,
the Type H120 relief valve may be used where venting
to atmosphere is acceptable, where the process gas is
compatible with the Nitrile (NBR) disk, where its relief capacity
is adequate, and where some pressure relieving tolerance is
acceptable. Common applications include use on pneumatic
control lines of air drills, jackhammers and other similar
equipment, and on high-pressure installations such as the
side outlet of a Type 1301F regulator.

Figure 1. Type H120 Relief Valve
• Space-Saving Construction - Small relief valve size
allows installation where space is limited.
• Economical - Low initial cost, easy installation, and high
capacity per dollar invested reduces total cost of having
relief valve capabilities in your system.
• Durable - Brass or stainless steel body construction and
stainless steel spring reduce susceptibility to corrosion
damage and the preset, pinned spring retainer prevents
relief valve setpoint tampering.
• Optional Protective Cap - A Type P206 raincap can be
Installation
This relief valve may be installed in any position, but it must
be oriented so that gas discharged from the valve does not
create a re, toxic, or explosion hazard. The relief valve
should be protected from material and conditions that could
clog the outlet side of the valve and affect the venting of gas.
A Type P206 raincap should be installed over the outlet to
help protect the relief valve.
The relief valve and installation should be checked for
compliance with all applicable codes.

trash and debris.
