I have the attached conbraco safety relief valve on my boiler. Checking the label…is this a problem?
Anyone think this is the wrong safety valve?

Are we talking steam or hot water here?

The 15 psig release pressure is correct.

I believe @simon_skove might be asking about the language on the tag that seems to indicate this is a hot water pressure relief valve.
I too am confused by the language on the tag, but the valve is in fact a low pressure steam safety relief valve it appears:
