Will the valve release pressure automatically at 30 psi or does it only release pressure manually?

david feldman on Apr 28, 2020

BEST ANSWER: In the fully closed/locked position it will open automatically at 30 psi. You can adjust the maximum pressure as you loosen the cap at the end of the valve. It is a simple mechanism where pressure pushes against a spring inside the unit. All the way tight the spring has the most resistance (30psi) and as you loosen it the spring applies less and less pressure to balance it.

Yes - it bleeds pressure automatically starting at whatever psi you set it for (set by trial and error). Specs say 0-30 psi . Its a very simple mechanical device. My experience is at low end (less-than 5 psi) its not repeatable and far too finicky- though I was able to improve it with just a bit of teflon tape on the adjustment knob threads.. So as a pressure safety relief for a brewbucket that wants < ~2.5 psi this would not a great choice. Not sure if the top-end is exactly 30psi but I suspect it performs well in the mid-to-upper of its range.. As description says - this one has a longer thread and spring than prior versions which improves adjustability. Also be careful ordering, they have older (shorter) versions, and one for welding in without 1/4"NPT threads.

It will release the gas automatically when the pressure increases to a point where it can force the mechanism inside the release valve and expels the gas to maintain whatever pressure you set the release valve. If you have the adjustment screwed in the whole way, and the release valve says its rated for 30psi, then the valve will pop off at 30 psi and the pressure inside your vessel will stay at 30psi. If you want to set the release valve at 10 psi you'll need a pressure gauge to help set the exact pressure.

The valve automatically releases pressure based on how tight (or loose) you have it set. I believe the top-end is 30 PSI (I do not use it that high). I use mine as part of a spunding set-up and generally run it at 15 PSI or less. I think it works best when paired with a pressure gauge so that you can see what PSI you have the PRV set at.

Automatically at the pressure you set it at. What I did was attach the spunding valve, with a gauge on it, to a keg pressured to 20 psi and started loosening the adjustment screw until it started letting CO2 escape. Then I put it on a keg that I use for fermenting.

This is an adjustable pressure relief valve so it will release at the pressure at which you set it. I couple mine with a T and a Gauge to measure my set pressure. It does automatically release pressure. You don’t have to manually release.

This valve releases at whatever pressure you set it at. I use it with a pressure gauge to set it. I check it everytime I use it. I normally use it in the 5 to 10 psi range.

It's automatic. BTW it works very well, much better than my first one which was the more common version you see around.

It automatically maintains the pressure that you select, anywhere from 0 to 30 psi. Ed

Not great, but no worse than anything else

This PRV suffers from the same problems as most others. It uses a cheap spring to create tension against the pressure flowing into it. This make it so you'll never be able to dial in the pressure exactly where you want it. If you fiddle with it for a while you can get it "in the neighborhood." But this is no worse than any other adjustable PRV. My advice would be to find the cheapest one and buy that because all the spring tension ones seem to work about the same.

Well made, quite temperamental at very low psi

High quality however very temperamental at low PSI ( 5-10 psi but I have not verified.
