THERMAL RELIEF VALVE / PUMP PROTECTOR 1/4" MPT

A PRESSURE WASHER SHOULD NOT BE RUN IN THE BYPASS MODE CONTINUOUSLY. WHEN A MACHINE IS IN THE BYPASS MODE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER IN THE CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM INCREASES RAPIDLY AS A RESULT OF FRICTION. IT IS UNDESIRABLE FOR PUMPS TO RUN HOT. SO, OCCASIONAL DISCHARGES OF THE GUN WILL REPLACE WATER IN THE LOOP AND PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. BUT, TO BE SURE YOU PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT YOU SHOULD HAVE A THERMAL RELIEF VALVE INSTALLED.
