About Pressure-Relief Valves

For Use With: Air, Inert Gas
Temperature Range: -20° to 406° F

Commonly used with high-volume blowers, compressors, and air-powered conveyors, these valves quickly relieve a large amount of air in systems with a pipe size of 2 or greater. They spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Attach a drain line to the threaded relief port for remote discharge. Valves have a cast iron body to absorb vibration for reduced noise and wear in your pipeline.

Vibration-Damping Pressure-Regulating
Valves for Water, Oil, Air, and Inert Gas

For Use With: Water, Oil, Air, Inert Gas
Temperature Range: See Table

A cast iron body absorbs vibration from pressure changes to reduce wear and noise in your pipeline. These valves automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range.

Internal strainers trap debris.

High-Accuracy Pressure-Regulating Valves for Steam

For Use With: Steam
Temperature Range: 40° to 450° F

Control steam line pressure with ±1 psi accuracy. These valves automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range. Valves have a cast iron body that absorbs vibration from pressure changes to reduce wear and noise in your pipeline. They meet ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class IV for tight shut-off (max. leakage rate of 0.01%). Install 1/4 NPT male pipe (not included) between the control valve and your downstream steam line.

Repair kits (sold separately) include replacement seals, diaphragm, spring, and spring assembly.

Back-Pressure-Regulating Valves for Water and Oil

For Use With: Water, Oil
Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F

Commonly used as bypass lines after centrifugal, reciprocating, and rotary pumps, these valves obstruct flow to maintain sufficient operating pressure in your system. If the system pressure exceeds the set pressure, they exhaust through the threaded relief port. Adjust the set pressure within the range. Valves have a cast iron body that absorbs vibration from pressure changes to reduce wear and noise in your pipeline.

Pressure-Relief Hydraulic Valves

To set the pressure, unscrew the cap and turn the adjustment screw. Valves begin opening at the set pressure and fully open at about 10% over the set pressure. They begin closing as pressure drops and close when the system pressure is restored below the set pressure.

Iron valves absorb vibration to reduce noise and wear in the pipeline.

Pressure-Regulating Inline Hydraulic Valves

When input pressure varies, use these valves to maintain a consistent pressure. They are often placed after a directional-control valve and before an actuator, such as a cylinder. They have an indicator/gauge port for the inlet and one for the outlet so you can monitor that output pressure remains steady.
