Did you know Erastus B. Kunkle invented the safety valve to prevent overpressure in locomotive engines? Kunkle patented it in 1875. Since that time, Kunkle has earned its reputation for high-quality valves, and other equipment manufacturers ship their products with Kunkle’s valves pre-installed.

NASVI has stocked Kunkle safety relief valves since the 1990’s, so we are confident when we call ourselves Kunkle safety valve experts.
