Golden Line G850 Owner’s Manual

OVERPRESSURE VALVE (IF FITTED)

Overpressure valve can be fitted to buoyancy tubes as shown in figures 12.

It serves to protect the tube from over inflation and excess pressure build up due to solar heat.

Without strainer

With strainer

Fig. 12. Overpressure valve.

Ultrafine mesh of the filter cup prevents contamination without affecting the pressure relief
function. The filter cap can be easily removed for cleaning.
