Plain-English summary
Emerson Process Management Regulator Technology Inc. is recalling certain Fisher two-inch pressure relief valves (models H282, H882, H5112, and H8112) manufactured between January 1, 2003, and July 3, 2014. These valves are used in cargo tank trailer applications. The recall affects approximately 300 units.
The affected relief valves may break, causing the upper portion of the valve to separate from the stem and potentially be ejected upward from the tank. If the valve breaks, an uncontrolled release of pressurized gas into the atmosphere may occur, increasing the risk of personal injury or fire. Additionally, the ejected valve could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Emerson will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected valves with a redesigned pressure relief valve free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Emerson customer service at 1-888-237-1751 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
