Description
Product Overview
The Cash Acme NCLX-5LX Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve is a precision‑engineered component designed to protect water heating systems, storage tanks, and related equipment from dangerous over‑pressure and over‑temperature conditions. Constructed from a cast bronze body with internal brass and stainless‑steel parts, the valve combines durability with corrosion resistance. The silicone‑sealed seat disc and stainless‑steel pressure spring provide reliable sealing performance over a wide temperature range, while the push‑to‑connect inlet simplifies installation on copper, CPVC, or other compatible pipe types. With a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI and a temperature relief setting of 210 °F, the valve meets CSA, NSF, and ANSI standards, ensuring compliance with industry safety requirements. Its compact dimensions (3/4″ inlet, 3/8″ outlet) and bronze finish make it suitable for tight spaces and aesthetic installations alike.
Usage
This relief valve is ideal for residential water heaters, commercial boiler systems, and industrial storage tanks where pressure control is critical. Install the push‑to‑connect inlet on the supply line to a water heater or tank, then secure the flange outlet to the discharge line leading to a safe venting location. The valve automatically releases excess pressure or temperature, preventing damage to the system and reducing the risk of leaks or ruptures. It is also compatible with brass, copper, and CPVC piping, making it a versatile choice for retrofits and new installations alike. Whether you are a plumber, HVAC technician, or DIY homeowner, the NCLX‑5LX offers a straightforward solution for maintaining safe operating conditions in any heated‑water application.

FAQ
What pipe sizes are compatible with the NCLX‑5LX valve?
The valve features a 3/4″ push‑to‑connect inlet that fits standard copper, CPVC, and brass pipe sizes up to 1.5″ in diameter, making it suitable for most residential and light‑commercial applications.
How does the temperature relief function work?
The valve contains a thermal element that expands when water temperature exceeds 210 °F, triggering the release mechanism. This prevents overheating of the water heater or tank, safeguarding both the equipment and the surrounding environment.
Is the valve certified for use in commercial settings?
Yes. The NCLX‑5LX meets CSA, NSF, and ANSI specifications, including lead‑free compliance (NSF 319) and ASSE 1003 standards, making it appropriate for both residential and commercial installations.
Can the valve be replaced without shutting down the entire system?
Because of its push‑to‑connect design, the valve can be removed and replaced with minimal disruption. However, it is recommended to depressurize the system and follow safety protocols before performing any maintenance.
