Product Overview
The Henry 5601 is a compact, high-quality pressure relief valve (PRV) designed to protect potable water supply systems and equipment from over-pressurization. It is a spring-loaded, soft-seat valve that provides reliable, drip-tight shut-off up to its set pressure and opens smoothly to relieve excess pressure. Its compact size and durable construction make it an ideal choice for a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Reliable Over-Pressure Protection:Â Automatically opens to discharge water when system pressure exceeds the 12 PSI set point, preventing damage to water heaters, pipes, filters, and other system components.
-
Drip-Tight Seal:Â Features a soft EPDM seat that ensures a tight seal up to the set pressure, preventing water waste and pressure loss in the system.
-
Compact & Lightweight Design:Â Its small footprint allows for easy installation in tight spaces where larger valves would not fit.
-
Durable Construction:Â The valve body is made of high-grade, lead-free brass (ASSE 1000/ANSI 372 compliant), ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. Internal components are stainless steel for reliable performance.
-
Easy Installation & Maintenance:Â Standard female NPT threads allow for simple integration into new or existing piping systems. The valve can be tested manually via the lever on top.
-
Cost-Effective Safety:Â Provides essential, code-compliant protection for plumbing systems at an economical price point.
