September 1992
Form 5322
INTRODUCTION Scope of Manual This instruction manual provides installation, maintenance, and parts ordering information for the Easy Joe Type 399A-6365 relief valve or Type 399A-6358 backpressure regulator. Any other accessories used with this relief valve or backpressure regulator are covered in separate manuals.
Product Description In the Type 399A pilot-operated pressure relief valve(1) (figure 1) or backpressure regulator, the fabric-reinforced diaphragm moves in response to the pilot loading pressure to control upstream pressure. Shutoff is achieved by applying full inlet pressure to the loading chamber to close the diaphragm against the slotted cage. Pilot bleed exhausts to atmosphere, or it may be piped to the downstream system.

WARNING
Specifications for the Type 399A relief valve or backpressure regulator are found in tables 1 through 4.

Personal injury, equipment damage, or leakage due to escaping gas or bursting of pressure containing parts may result if the relief valve or backpressure regulator is installed where its capabilities can be exceeded or where conditions exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or piping connections. To avoid this, install a Type 399A relief valve or backpressure regulator where:
Other information for an individual main valve appears on the nameplate. Additionally, Type 399A diaphragm and cage markings are explained in figure 2.
