Weight loaded valves are a popular choice for a blower pressure relief valve due to how easy they are to operate and maintain. MaxQ Relief Valves from pdblowers are made in the USA from American steel. The stainless steel construction will keep your valve running smoothly for years to come with minimal maintenance.

*MATERIAL: The valve body is made from American 316 stainless steel with machined and lubricated operating surfaces. The carbon steel weights are plated with RoHS compliant clear zinc for corrosion resistance. Stainless steel weights can be made to order, contact us for a quote.
OPERATION: A weighted cap rides on a machined piston. When the pressure exerted on the cap is greater than the weight of the cap (plus any added weights), the cap rises exposing the ports and allowing air to escape. Once line pressure is reduced, the cap will automatically reseat itself on the piston.
The set pressure of the blower relief valve is modified by adding or removing weights. Each weight represents a 0.5 psi change in set point. The valve must be sized properly to allow the venting of the excessive flow. If the valve is undersized, excessive pressure could remain in the service line.
INSTALLATION: The relief valve must be mounted in the vertical position to function properly. Overhead clearance must be great enough to allow full travel of the cap. The blower relief valve should be installed on the discharge side of the blower, before any restrictions, and preferably immediately after a silencer if one is used.
MAINTENANCE: Rotate the cap by hand on a monthly basis. Use a light oil on the machined surface of the piston to prevent rust and insure proper operation. The valves are lubricated prior to shipping with pdblowers synthetic blower oil.
