16-004

● Used in low-volume air tanks to retard excessive

pressure buildup

● If pressure exceeds the relief pressure setting, the

valve opens and air from the tank is vented to
atmosphere. Valve closes when pressure is reduced
to the relief pressure setting.

● Compact design, corrosion resistant construction

● Constructed of brass and stainless steel for

compressed air and water service

● Available with adjustable or non-adjustable, factory

preset, relief pressure setting
