What is the torque range of the Husky P/V valve?

The torque range of the Husky Pressure/Vacuum (P/V) valve is crucial for ensuring proper installation and measurement accuracy. A torque setting of 20 - 50 lbs is specified for the Husky P/V valve to maintain a secure fit while preventing potential damage to the valve components. Proper torque is essential because it allows the valve to function correctly — ensuring that it opens and closes at the appropriate pressures, thus maintaining the integrity of the vapor recovery system.

Exceeding the recommended torque can lead to deformation or damage to the valve, while insufficient torque may result in leaks or improper functioning. Understanding this torque range is vital for technicians to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the vapor recovery installation. This information is especially relevant for operators dealing with P/V valves, as accurate torque application impacts overall system performance and compliance with environmental regulations.
