Pressure relief valves automatically open when system pressure exceeds a set limit, diverting flow to a safe location to prevent pump damage, gasket failures, burst lines, or unsafe operating conditions. Once pressure normalizes, the valve reseats to restore normal flow.

Pressure Relief Options
60R Series: Pressure Relief Valves
The 60R Series pressure relief valve is engineered to safeguard sanitary and industrial processing systems by automatically relieving excess pressure and preventing over-pressurization. Its stainless-steel construction and hygienic design make it ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications, ensuring both safety and compliance without compromising system cleanliness.
WR60 & WR80 Series: Over-Pressure Relief Valves
The WR60 & WR80 series valve is an adjustable pressure relief valve or pressure safety valve allows users to set the desired relief cracking pressure right at the valve by simply turning the adjustment screw. Installing a pressure-relief valve can protect pumps in a process line by allowing the pump to discharge pressure if it exceeds the cracking pressure set on the valve.
