Disassembly Of Relief Valve (See Figure 12):
Note the valve position in relation to the housing and suction piping. Ensure that system pressure
has been relieved and that the driver has been locked out prior to doing any service work.
1. Remove the adjusting screw cap to expose the adjusting screw.
2. Measure and record the length of the exposed amount of the screw.
3. Loosen the adjusting screw to relieve initial spring pressure.
4. Remove the bonnet, spring guide, spring and valve poppet from the main valve housing.
5. Inspect all parts for wear or damage, in particular the valve seat area. Excessive wear or
damage at this surface would be cause for replacement of components.
Re-Assembly Of Relief Valve (See Figure 12):
1. Ensure all parts are clean, no foreign matter is in the valve and the ports are unobstructed.
2. Reassemble valve in the reverse manner as noted in Disassembly Procedure.
3. Reset the adjusting screw to the original position.
Pressure Adjustment Of Relief Valve
The safety relief valves supplied on GG Series pumps are provided with springs that can be
adjusted for various settings.
Factory setting on all valves is 100 psi (6.9 bar) full by-pass, unless another setting was specified
at time of order. This setting will vary depending on liquid viscosity and pump speed. If it must
be changed from this factory setting, due to your operating conditions, the following procedure is
used:
1. Place a pressure gauge on the pump discharge line as close as possible to the pump in order
to obtain accurate readings. There must be no restrictions between the gage and pump. The
pump housing has a tapped opening in the port area that is the best location for this gage.
