Alright, for all you compressed air and gas system folks, this brass safety relief valve is the real deal - made right here in the USA! This 1/4 NPT valve comes preset at 25 PSI with a flow rate of 17 SCFM, and it's not adjustable (so no messing with the factory settings). The soft seat design uses an elastomer seal - usually silicone or viton depending on what media you're running through it - which gives you a really tight seal. It's built to protect unfired pressure vessels and systems from over-pressure situations, which is pretty important if you want to avoid, you know, explosions or system failures. The temperature range is impressive too - it'll handle anything from -65°F all the way up to 400°F, so unless you're working in extreme conditions, this valve has you covered. Construction is solid brass for the seat, cap and piston, with a 17-7 stainless steel spring that won't corrode on you. It's certified to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII and CSA B51 standards, so you know it meets proper safety requirements. Just a heads up - it's not considered 'lead free' and the 1/4\ NPT measures about 0.540\ outside thread diameter. If you need different thread sizes or pressure settings, they've got other options available. This is one of those components you hope you never need, but you're sure glad it's there when things go wrong in your compressed air system!
