Product
Safety Relief Valves | The valves are designed to relieve excess pressure in large propane tanks, typically the 500- to 1,000-gallon size ones. The valves, model 66-1031, are approximately 7 inches long. Writing on the valve reads "OMECA 66-1031." Only valves that contain year and batch codes of "99.02," "99.10", "99.16," "99.27," or "99.28" are included in the recall. The valves from these batch codes were installed on tanks that were refurbished or manufactured after May 1999.
Reason
