FUJIKURA FRC Deflector Cap Low-Pressure Relief Valve

• Deflector cap blowout control: The deflector cap helps control the blowout direction during relief operation.
• Reduced foreign matter intrusion: The cap design helps reduce foreign matter entering the valve in outdoor or exposed environments.
• Low-pressure atmospheric design: The valve is suitable for low-pressure fluid lines where relieved fluid can be discharged externally.
• Factory-set cracking pressure: Cracking pressure is adjusted before shipment to match the specified low-pressure relief requirement.
• Brass and SUS316 bodies: Brass and SUS316 body options are available with FKM as the standard seal material; brass bodies are nickel plated.

Q1: What is the FUJIKURA FRC Series?
A: The FRC Series is a deflector cap low-pressure atmospheric relief valve that discharges fluid externally when line pressure reaches the set cracking pressure.

Q2: What is the difference between the FRC and FRA Series?
A: FRA is a standard low-pressure atmospheric relief valve. FRC adds a deflector cap to control blowout direction and reduce foreign matter entering the valve.

Q3: Is the FRC Series suitable for outdoor or exposed environments?
A: The deflector cap helps reduce foreign matter intrusion, making the FRC Series suitable for equipment where exposed environments must be considered.

Q4: What body materials are available?
A: Brass and SUS316 body options are available, represented by model codes B and T. Brass bodies are nickel plated.

Q5: What pipe port sizes are available?
A: R1/8, R1/4, R3/8, R1/2, and R3/4 port sizes are available.

Q6: What cracking pressure range is available?
A: The main reference range is 30 to 1000kPa, 30 to 1080kPa. The actual range should be confirmed based on the selected conditions.

Q7: How is the cracking pressure specified?
A: The cracking pressure is specified in kPa and added to the end of the model number, such as FRCB-2-V-300 for a 300kPa setting.

Q8: Can the FRC cracking pressure be adjusted by the user?
A: The cracking pressure is adjusted before shipment, so the required setting pressure should be specified during selection or ordering.

Q9: What should be noted during installation?
A: The outlet must face upward during piping installation to maintain the specified relief and cracking characteristics.

Q10: What applications is the FRC Series suitable for?
A: It is suitable for pressure tank control, low-pressure relief protection, machine tools, industrial furnaces, medical equipment, analyzers, water-treatment equipment, gas generators, and outdoor equipment relief.
