What it does:

The safety relief valve provides backup protection against excessive pressure within the pressure washer system. If system pressure rises beyond the valve's preset adjustment, the valve opens to relieve pressure and help protect the pump and other high-pressure components.

Safety Relief Valve vs. Unloader:

A safety relief valve should not be used as a replacement for the pressure washer's unloader valve.

The unloader controls normal system pressure and bypass operation. The safety relief valve serves as a secondary safety device, opening if pressure rises beyond the predetermined safe operating limit.

Why it matters:

Excessive system pressure can contribute to:

• Burst high-pressure hoses

• Damaged fittings and valves

• Pump damage

• Seal and packing failure

• Equipment downtime

• Unsafe operating conditions

A properly selected and adjusted safety relief valve provides valuable backup protection for both your pressure washer and its high-pressure components.

The General Pump 100534 Safety Relief Valve is an excellent choice for compatible systems requiring a 3/8" MPT connection, up to 6 GPM, and an adjustable 1000–6000 PSI pressure range.
