This Enerpac V-152 relief valve has an adjustable relief pressure to 10,000 psi, a 3/8" female NPT threaded inlet connection, and the valve body is painted for corrosion resistance. This relief valve can be adjusted to open between 800 and 10,000 pounds per square inch (psi) using the adjustment handle and locking wing nut, and includes a 3 return line hose kit. This relief valve limits the pressure developed by the pump in a hydraulic circuit and is suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as in hydraulic equipment used for construction and agriculture.
Relief valves remove excess pressure or vacuum from a system. The valve openings allow fluids or gases to escape to decrease pressure, and then close once the valve reaches the reseating pressure limit. They also relieve excess vacuum by opening to release a gas into the system and then closing after it reaches its low-pressure limit. Some relief valves have an adjustment mechanism to set the pressure where the valve opens, making it suitable for various applications. Relief valves are rated according to the volume of liquid or gas that can flow through them and the material that the valve is constructed from must be suitable for the fluid or gas, which may be corrosive or at an extreme temperature, in which it operates. Relief valves are used in a variety of applications, such as air compressors, petrochemical and chemical manufacturing, natural gas processing, and power generation.
