Operation:
Griffco diaphragm pressure relief valves operate when the pressure in the chemical system exceeds the preset pressure of the valve. The diaphragm is held against the valve seat by an internal spring. When the preset pressure is exceeded the diaphragm is forced up and the chemical flow out of relief port, back to the chemical tank or to the suction side of the pump. The valves are preset for 50 psi, however they are field adjustable from 10 - 150 psi, (optional 350 psi) via the adjustment screw with the special tool. The relief valve should be set approximately 15 psi higher than the system pressure. Installation should be made as close to the pump as possible, without any valves or accessories between the relief valve and the pump.
