19 forum posts 26 photos | Hi. I have a pressure relief valve with a 3/8” thread on it. It is adjustable from 10-30PSI My question is would it be of interest to anyone on here or should I eBay it?

No. they are made of solid brass, they polish up beautifully. The thread is possibly a special as it is designed to screw into a fitting in place of the olive and tubing nut.

19 forum posts 26 photos | I don’t think Oven man said it didn’t work. I’m certain it does and it is unused and still in its box. I just wondered if it was of any use to anyone but it seems not. I’ll be putting it on eBay and if it doesn’t sell it’ll be chucked in with the scrap as it is solid brass. |
