Description
316 Stainless Steel Low Pressure Relief Valve – Z-Tide Industrial RLLT Series
The Z-Tide Industrial RLLT Series is a precision direct-acting low pressure relief and pressure limiting valve designed to protect sensitive water, air, gas and compatible fluid systems against excessive pressure.
Manufactured from 316 stainless steel with a balanced piston and large diaphragm design, the RLLT provides highly sensitive pressure control across an adjustable 0.3 to 1.5 Bar relief range. The valve remains closed during normal operation and automatically opens when the preset pressure is reached, relieving excess pressure before resealing as system pressure falls.
Available from ½" to 2" BSPT with optional NPT or BSPP (G) threads, the RLLT is particularly suited to RO and pure water systems, laboratory equipment, compressed air, low-pressure process systems and applications requiring accurate over-pressure protection at pressures below those normally covered by conventional industrial relief valves.
Valve Function & Operation
Function: Direct-acting pressure relief valve
Alternative function description: Pressure limiting valve (PLV)
Purpose: Low-pressure over-pressure protection
Operating principle: Balanced piston and large diaphragm
The valve remains closed during normal operation and automatically opens when the preset inlet pressure is reached. Excess pressure is discharged until the system pressure falls below the selected setting, allowing the valve to reseal automatically.
Pressure gauge: Displays inlet/system pressure
Port sizes: ½", ¾", 1", 1½" and 2" BSPT
Optional threads:
NPT
BSPP (G)
Mounting position: Pressure gauge upright with adjusting stem downward
Pressure Range & Relief Settings
Maximum working pressure: 10 Bar
Pressure tested: 16 Bar
Pressure relief adjustment range: 0.3 to 1.5 Bar

Manufacturing Quality
Manufactured from heavy-duty 316 stainless steel with precision-machined internal components, the Z-Tide Industrial RLLT Series is engineered specifically for accurate low-pressure over-pressure protection.
The balanced piston and large diaphragm design provides excellent sensitivity across the 0.3 to 1.5 Bar adjustment range, allowing the valve to respond rapidly when system pressure reaches the selected limit. As pressure reduces, the valve automatically reseals to restore normal system operation.
Precision UH-ring sealing helps minimise leakage and provides reliable repeatable operation, while the supplied stainless steel pressure gauge allows continuous monitoring of inlet pressure during commissioning and operation.
Optional Duplex stainless steel construction, alternative seal materials and different pressure adjustment ranges are available for specialist applications.
