Non-Code Relief Valves — Economical Overpressure Protection

Not every application requires ASME certification. Equipment not governed by boiler code or pressure vessel code—process systems, test stands, equipment prototyping, and general industrial overpressure relief—often benefit from economical, non-code relief valves. Aquatrol’s non-code series deliver reliable protection without premium pricing or certification overhead.

Why Aquatrol Non-Code Valves

Many industrial applications fall outside ASME Code jurisdiction—research equipment, pilot facilities, private systems, and one-off installations. These applications still need reliable overpressure protection, but don’t require expensive third-party certification and capacity testing. Aquatrol’s non-code relief valves deliver the same engineering quality and reliability at lower cost.

Non-code valves are faster to order and less expensive to customize. You can specify unusual pressure settings, connection types, and materials without the lead time and documentation overhead of ASME-certified valves. Perfect for prototypes, test equipment, and applications where you need quick deployment and flexibility.

Even without ASME Code, these valves undergo rigorous in-house testing and validation. They use the same manufacturing standards, materials, and engineering as our certified series. The difference is third-party certification and documentation—not the valve quality. Ideal for applications where code compliance isn’t required but performance and reliability are.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I use a non-code relief valve instead of an ASME valve?
If your application falls outside ASME Section I (not a fired boiler) or Section VIII (not a regulated pressure vessel), you may use non-code relief. Check local jurisdiction and insurance requirements—some applications still require certification even if not technically Code-mandated. When in doubt, consult your boiler inspector or insurance agent.
Are non-code valves as reliable as ASME-certified valves?
Yes. Aquatrol non-code valves use the same manufacturing, materials, and engineering as our certified series. The difference is third-party certification and documentation. Reliability and performance are equivalent—certification just adds cost and lead time.
Can I upgrade a non-code valve to ASME certification?
In some cases, yes. If you initially specify non-code but later need certification, we can arrange third-party testing and certification. However, this adds lead time and cost, so it’s better to determine certification requirements upfront.
Do non-code valves have warranty?
Yes. Aquatrol warrants all non-code valves against manufacturing defects for 12 months from shipment. We also offer troubleshooting support and replacement if the valve fails under normal operating conditions.
