Why Use the Waterous Intake Relief Repair Kit?
An intake relief valve protects your pump by opening when pressure levels become too high. This action allows excess water to flow back to the source, preventing potential damage.

How Does the Intake Relief Valve Work?
This safety valve is located on the intake side of the pump. When pressure exceeds the set limit, the valve opens, redirecting excess water back to the source. This process safeguards your pump from over-pressurization and extends its lifespan. A properly functioning valve ensures uninterrupted operation during critical moments.
Why Replace Damaged Parts?
A faulty intake relief valve may not open as intended, putting your pump at risk of over-pressurization and potential failure. By using this repair kit, you replace worn components and restore the valve’s original functionality. Choose the Waterous Intake Relief Valve Repair Kit to keep your firefighting equipment safe, efficient, and ready for action.
