Smile Re: Setting the Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve is a safety device that has working limits .They are not designed to act as a pressure regulator. If that valve releases during a competition, you risk red cards and DQ. 125 psi is your max limit, and the regulator to operate the system must be set to 60 psi. Higher pressure translates into more volume and force, which is outside the rules. Add accumulator(s) to increase capacity.
