Details
The 3/8 inch Pressure Release Valve protects your aeration system by venting excess air pressure from the line. Bleeding off a small amount of pressure eases the load on your compressor and helps your diffuser run at its best, which is especially valuable in cold weather when back-pressure climbs.
Why it helps
- Fits 3/8 inch airline
- Vents excess pressure to protect the compressor and diffuser
- Helps prevent airline freeze-up in winter operation
- A small part that extends the life of your system

The difference
Running without pressure relief vs. a dedicated release valve
Excess airline pressure works your compressor harder and climbs further in cold weather. Here is how an unprotected line compares to running a 3/8 inch pressure release valve.
Without relief
An unprotected airline
- Excess pressure stays trapped in the line
- Added load falls on the compressor
- Back-pressure climbs as temperatures drop
- Higher risk of airline freeze-up in winter
With this valve
A protected aeration line
- Vents excess pressure from the airline
- Eases the load on your compressor
- Helps the diffuser run at its best
- Helps prevent freeze-up in winter operation
Why it helps
A small part that protects your whole aeration system
The 3/8 inch Pressure Release Valve bleeds off a small amount of pressure from the airline so your equipment runs easier and lasts longer.
Vents excess air pressure
Bleeds off excess pressure from the airline so the system does not fight against trapped back-pressure.
Protects compressor and diffuser
Easing the load on your compressor helps your diffuser run at its best and extends the life of your system.
Helps prevent winter freeze-up
Back-pressure climbs when it gets cold. Venting that pressure helps prevent airline freeze-up during winter operation.
Fits 3/8 inch airline
Sized for 3/8 inch airline.
