What is the purpose of an oil safety valve in a heating system?

The purpose of an oil safety valve in a heating system is primarily focused on stopping gravity flow. This valve plays a critical role in preventing the unintended release of oil from the tank or system, which could occur due to gravity, especially when the system is not in operation. By ensuring that oil cannot flow out of the tank unless required, the safety valve helps to minimize the risk of spills, leaks, or potential hazards that may arise from fuel accumulation in unwanted areas.

While maintaining safety in the system, the valve contributes to the overall functionality by ensuring that fuel flow is controlled effectively and safely within designated parameters, promoting a secure environment for heating operations.
