1 General points
1.1 About the documentation
These operating instructions describe the installation, operation and mainte-
nance of the pressure relief valves, type SPV / SPVF, also referred to below
as the device.
The device is manufactured in different versions. Information about the ver-
sion concerned in the individual case can be found on the device's type plate.
The structure of the type designation and a more detailed description of the
individual series and nominal sizes can be found in the chapter 3 “Device
description” and in the chapter 4 “Technical data”.
If you have any questions about this operating manual, please contact the
manufacturer.

1.3 Intended use
The SPV/ SPVF pressure relief valve is a directly-controlled slide valve for
installation in pipelines and is used to secure low-pressure hydraulic circuits
up to pmax 20 bar - in exceptional cases, 30 bar. Each maximum permissible
setting pressure is predetermined by the pressure rating in the type key. The
various seal variants and materials enable the use of different media.
The device has been designed for operation with fluids. Dry operation is not
permitted. The medium must guarantee a minimum lubrication.
Use in explosive areas is not permissible.
It must be guaranteed that the medium is compatible with the materials used
in the device (see chapter 4 “Technical data”)
The maximum permissible operating data listed in the chapter 4 “Technical
data” must always be observed.

Deviations from the above-mentioned data and operating conditions require
express approval by the manufacturer and/or are specified on the type plate.
Type plates or other references on the device must not be removed nor made
illegible or irrecognisable.
In cases of noncompliance, all warranty claims and manufacturer responsi-
bility shall be void.

the meanings as explained below:
Caution: Identification of a low risk hazard, which could lead to minor or
medium bodily injury if not avoided.
Warning: Identificationofapotentialmediumriskhazard,whichwouldlead
to death or severe bodily injury if not avoided.
Danger: Identification of an immediate hazard, which would result in death
or severe bodily injury if not avoided.
Notice: Flagging of notices to prevent property damage.
Flagging of special user tips and other especially useful or important infor-
mation.
2.2 Staff qualification and training
The staff designated to install, operate and maintenance the device must be
properly qualified. This can be through training or specific instruction. Staff
must be familiar with the contents of this operating manual.
2.3 General safety instructions
The operational safety of the device delivered is only guaranteed when it is
used for the intended purpose (see chapter 1 “General points”).
The limit values given must never be exceeded (see chapter 4 “Technical
data”).
National regulations concerning accident prevention and health and safety
at work must be observed, as well as internal regulations laid down by the
operator, even if these are not specifically mentioned in this manual.
The operator must ensure that this operating manual is accessible to the
staff responsible at all times.

2.4 Hazard statements
DANGER
Danger through valve blocking
The incorrect adjustment of the pressure setting above the respectively
permissible pressure values can lead to the sleeve valve blocking and
cause hazardous pressure levels. Breakage can lead to parts flying around
uncontrolled or to fluids squirting out which can lead to accidents and se-
vere injuries or even result in death.
●Do not set the pressure setting higher than the respective permissible
pressure values.
●Only allow expert and technically qualified personnel to perform the
work.
DANGER
Danger through adjustment of the threaded pin or setscrew
If the threaded pin is adjusted to higher than the maximum pressure of the
respective pressure stages, uncontrollable pressure levels can arise.
Breakage can lead to parts flying around uncontrolled or to fluids squirting
out which can lead to accidents and severe injuries or even result in death.
●Screw the threaded pin or setscrew in only until the maximum pressure
of the respective pressure stage has been reached.
DANGER
Danger due to breakage or squirting fluids!
Using unsuitable connections and lines can lead to breakage. Parts flying
around uncontrolled or squirting fluids can lead to accidents with severe
injuries or even lead to death.
●Use only connections and lines approved for the expected pressure
range.
●Comply with each manufacturer's regulations.
DANGER
Danger due to breakage or squirting fluids!
Using damaged connections and lines can cause parts to fly around un-
controlled or fluids to squirt out, which can lead to accidents and severe
injuries or even result in death.
●Immediately replace damaged connections, pipes and hose lines.

DANGER
Danger due to pressure loaded lines.
When working on pressure loaded lines, uncontrolled or squirting fluids can
lead to accidents and severe injuries or even result in death.
●Always depressurize all lines during all work on the unit and before dis-
assembly.
WARNING
Danger due to falling loads and or loads falling over!
Due to the size and weight of the device, accidents can occur resulting in
severe injuries or death during transport and shipping.
●Compliancewithapplicableindustrialsafetyrequirementsismandatory.
●Use only suitable means of conveyance and lifting tackle with sufficient
load-bearing capacity.
●Attach the lifting tackle in such a manner that it cannot slip.
●Secure the device so that toppling over and falling down is impossible.
●Always avoid jerks, impacts and strong vibrations during transportation.
●Never walk under suspended loads, never work under suspended
loads.
●To prevent damage to the device, be extremely cautious when shipping
or transporting.
●Wear suitable protective clothing.
WARNING
Danger due to hazardous fluid!
Danger of death upon contact with hazardous fluids and when inhaling va-
pours from these liquids.
●Comply with the safety data sheets and regulations on handling the
hazardous liquids!
●Collect and dispose leaks of hazardous materials so that no hazards
arise for people or the environment.
●Comply with national and international rules at the place of installation.
●Wear suitable protective clothing.
CAUTION
Danger due to hot surfaces!
When operating the device with hot media, there is a danger of being
burned and scalded when touching the hot surfaces.
●At medium temperatures above 60 °C, take measures against uninten-
ded contact.
●Wear safety gloves.

CAUTION
Danger due to hot surfaces!
When operating the device with hot media, there is a danger of being
burned and scalded when touching the hot surfaces.
●Let the device cool off first when the medium temperature is over 48 °
C.
●Wear safety gloves.

3 Device description
3.1 General
The SPVF pressure relief valve is a directly-controlled slide valve for instal-
lation in pipelines and is used to protect the low-pressure hydraulic circuits
up to pmax 20 bar (in exceptional cases, 30 bar) The line connection can be
made using SAE flanges (3000 psi) or Whitworth pipe threads (G).
Fig. 3.1:
Slide valve 2 is pressed through Ring-side a against Compressed spring 3,
blocking Pump connection P from Tank connection R through Diameter d.
When Operating pressure p is reached, set using setscrew 4, Slide valve 2
releases the oil flow to the tank. Spring chamber b is relieved through Hole c.
When commissioning the valve, relieve Spring chamber b using Vent screw
5 (SW 4). The valve should preferably be mounted vertical, with the setscrew
facing down. In that case, bleeding is not required.
