Re: 120 psi Main Relief Valve not functioning
It is important that this valve function correctly for safety reasons. I would definitely suggest going to a new valve.

I'm wondering if your valve is clogged with debris. It is always good to maintain good shop habits for a thousand reasons, FOD, foreign object debris is one of them. Especially you don't want to introduce FOD into a pneumatic or hydraulic system.
