Description
Overview:
The VRT3 Unloader Valve 40LPM 280 Bar is a pressure-control component for high-pressure water systems. It regulates outlet pressure and diverts water to bypass when demand drops, preventing excessive build-up and protecting the pump, hoses, and spray gun. Suitable for professional pressure washers and related hydraulic water applications, it maintains stable operation under varying loads and frequent trigger cycling. With a maximum flow of 40 litres per minute (8.8 UK gallons per minute) and a working limit of 280 bar (approx. 4,060 psi), it supports demanding cleaning and maintenance tasks. Constructed from robust materials suited to wet environments, this Non-Genuine compatible part offers dependable control and protection without changing system performance characteristics. Install in the discharge circuit of pressure washers or similar water-based systems where accurate unloading is required.
