1. The pressure/temperature limits in this Instructional Manual and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
2. Temperature and/or the body end connection may decrease these maximum pressures.
3. Maximum inlet pressure is equal to set pressure plus build-up.
4. Pressure and/or the body end connection may decrease these maximum temperatures.
5. Fluorocarbon is limited to 200°F (93°C) hot water.
