Best Answer

It is a small, valve usually used to manually check if water is above the valve connection on a boiler or tank. There may be several of them at different heights on the boiler or tank. There is a handwheel on the valve, an inlet connection (which is attached to the boiler) and an outlet (usually left unconnected). When filling the boiler or tank, the try-cocks can be left open. Water coming from the try-cock means the tank is filled to at least that level. The valve is then closed.

Releif valve is applicable in the fluid system.safety valve is applicable in the gaseous system.2.Relief valve opening is directly proportional to the pressure rise.Safety valve opening is will happen at after reaching the setpressure.3.Mode of relif vlave line is again connected to the suction.But in the safety valve is just vent-out there is no connection tosuction.
