Norgen Relief Valve

[Ralph Lambert]

The relief valve parts were loose when the bag was open so one of our students took the end of the valve off and apparently put it back together again. I later found a small brass disc on the floor and they said that they recognized it. Is there an exploded view of this valve anywhere? I am not sure we have all the parts or if they are all back where they belong.

I would contact FIRST and ask for a replacement.

hmm, well today when i worked on our pnuematics we encountered difficulties with the valve and had to take about 4 hours just to find leaks in the pnuematic system and put teflon on all of our brass plugs and everything else that seemed to be leaking.

i would check to see if any other part of the pnuematics system is leaking before you try to ask for a replacement or anything... make sure that it's the part that isn't working.

good luck

just a question do you have to mount the relief valve on a certain side of the compressor

Until this morning I would have said no. However, the discussion and ruling in the GDC Q&A in this thread says yes.
