558 Series 316L Pressure Relief Valve With Ceramic Ball

This threadless, cartridge safety pressure relief valve is constructed with medical grade 316L stainless steel and a ceramic ball for improved compatibility with aggressive fluids like hydrogen. The 5.5 mm relief valve’s locking end uses the field-proven Lee Controlled Expansion Principle to provide secure retention and eliminate the need for threads, O-rings, or secondary retainers. This direct-acting valve features all stainless steel construction including a high quality metal seat that delivers low leakage, repeatable cracking pressure, fast response time, low hysteresis, and long life. The valve is 100% functionally tested to ensure performance.
