Compressor Safety Valves
Compressor Safety Valve
A compressor safety valve is a spring-loaded safety valve fitted to the tank of an air compressor or pressurised air line that vents air to atmosphere when the pressure setting is exceeded. It prevents tank damage from excessive pressure in the event of pressure switch failure.
Available in 1/4″ and 1/2″ male threaded connection options. Opening pressure is adjustable in the 0–16 bar range; the valve’s operation can be easily checked by pulling the ring.
