Why add a release valve

Unregulated airline vs. a pressure release valve

Left unchecked, back-pressure in an aeration airline works your compressor harder and can invite freeze-up in winter. Adding a release valve keeps the line running at its best.

Common approach

Airline with no pressure relief

  • Back-pressure climbs as conditions turn cold
  • The compressor carries a heavier load
  • Winter freeze-up in the airline becomes more likely

Questions and answers

3/8" pressure release valve FAQ

What buyers ask before adding a pressure release valve to an aeration system.

What does a pressure release valve do?
It vents excess air pressure from the aeration line. Bleeding off a small amount of pressure eases the load on your compressor and helps your diffuser run at its best.
What size airline does it fit?
This valve fits 3/8 inch airline.
Why is it useful in winter?
In cold weather, back-pressure in the airline tends to climb. Venting that excess pressure helps prevent airline freeze-up during winter operation.
How does it protect my equipment?
By venting excess pressure, it eases the load on the compressor and helps the diffuser perform, which extends the life of your aeration system.
Is this a compressor or a diffuser?
No. It is an aeration accessory: a pressure release valve that installs on the 3/8 inch airline to protect the compressor and diffuser you already run.
