trying to set it up around 200 psi, is that even in the adjustment range on this one?
Answer by: Customer Support on May 23, 2025, 1:46 PM
Range-wise you are good. The screw adjustment on this RV3-10 cartridge is rated 50 to 300 PSI, so a 200 PSI setting falls right in the middle of what it is meant to cover.

running this on a refuse hauler and need to know if it'll hold up pressure-wise. what's the max this thing can take before it starts causing problems?
Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 1, 2025, 8:31 AM
Up to 3600 PSI is the rated max, but there's an important catch worth knowing before you bolt it in. Anything above 3000 PSI requires a steel housing. If you're running aluminum or other softer housings at those higher pressures, you're asking for trouble down the road. For most refuse hauler circuits staying in a more moderate range, you're well within the valve's operating window without any special housing concerns.
