Hmmm....... how does a gas relief valve function?
To relieve the pressure, does it release gas? Continuous over pressure could releas a lot of gas
Right, but it wouldn’t release gas into basements all over town. Would it??? Not that it’s a good situation but it’s better to have fire in one place out of the way than 50 homes across the city. That’s kinda why I asked that question, I’m not the gas-man and don’t play one on TV.
A pressure relief valve or pressure regulator diverts excess pressure and vents it to atmosphere.
