SENTINEL™ Pressure Relief Valves
US Patent 11,194,352

Pressure Relief Valves—also called safety valves, bypass valves, pump relief valves, or pump safety valves—protect pumps, systems, and tanks from excessive pressure. Prevent damage, reduce the risk of cavitation, and increase personnel wellbeing with this essential safety component.

Pressure relief valves are designed to protect pumping systems from over pressure damage caused by defective equipment or blockage in the pump system line.

Diaphragm pressure relief valves operate when the pressure in the pumping 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 system fluid flows out of the relief port, back to the system fluid tank or to the suction side of the pump.

  • Unique flow stabilization technology improves flow, extends service life, and eliminates valve chatter.
  • Internal swiveling spring seat ensures spring force is applied evenly over the diaphragm for more consistent and complete valve closure.
  • Both plastic and metal valves feature a separate ring attachment for more uniform clamping load and improved seal performance.
  • Threaded connections on plastic valves eliminate the need for metal fasteners that can corrode.
  • Proudly made in the USA
