1. General
A relief valve normally requires no maintenance, however the opening pressure
and the tightness should be checked according to Maintenance Schedule 0380−1.
Leaky or faulty valves have to be returned to the manufacturer or to a Wärtsilä
Switzerland Ltd. authorized repair workshop for inspection and repair.
The opening pressure of the relief valve must be approved by IACS (International
Association of Classification Societies) and recorded on the Inspection Report.
Remark: To identify the new fuel overpressure safety valve (relief valve) 11, two
bores ’MK’ on one face have been provided as a marking.
