Product Questions & Answers (2)
Question by: Larry C on Jan 24, 2026, 11:07 AM
runs continuous duty on a refuse hauler all day long, will this valve hold up to that kind of use without giving me grief?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 25, 2026, 6:14 PM
Continuous duty is exactly what this cartridge is built around. The RV5-10 is a pilot-operated spool type, which means it handles sustained pressure loads more smoothly and with less heat buildup than a poppet-style relief. Rated to 5000 PSI and 30 GPM, it's well within the demands of a refuse hauler running full shifts. One thing worth noting: if you're running above 3000 PSI, you'll need a steel housing for the cavity. Aluminum won't cut it at those pressures.
