Designed specifically for use as a primary relief valve on forklift
cylinders, the 8545AK reduces the possibility of improper functioning
of the relief mechanism due to foreign material build up. All guides,
springs, stem and adjusting components are located inside the
cylinder - removed from the direct exposure of foreign materials and
debris from the atmosphere.
NFPA Pamphlet #58 requires that:
“All containers used in industrial truck (including forklift truck cylinders)
service shall have the container pressure relief valve replaced by a
new or unused valve within 12 years of the date of manufacture of the
container and each 10 years thereafter.”
