Hose Barb Outlet Advantage:

Unlike a standard relief valve with an open discharge, the hose barb outlet allows a hose to be attached to the valve. This makes it easier to direct discharged water to a safe location rather than allowing it to spray or drain directly around the pressure washer.

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 and diverts water through the hose barb outlet to relieve pressure.

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 if system 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

The General Pump 100723 Safety Relief Valve with Hose Barb Outlet 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.
