Industrial Pressure Relief Valve with Braided Stainless Steel Line

This item is an industrial-grade pressure relief or check valve assembly, likely constructed from cast or machined stainless steel or a corrosion-resistant alloy. The primary housing features a multi-bolt flange design secured by four internal hex head (Allen) bolts, showing a robust construction meant for high-pressure environments. A flexible, braided stainless steel high-pressure hose is connected via a hexagonal compression fitting to the top of the valve body. One side of the assembly reveals a slotted opening where a heavy-duty internal compression spring is visible, indicating the mechanical tension mechanism for flow or pressure control. The metal surface exhibits a matte, industrial finish with visible hand-written markings in black ink ('J. LO') on the top flange, likely used for inventory tracking or installation notes. The overall condition appears used but functional, with minor surface residue or moisture present on the body and the surrounding concrete environment, suggesting it is part of a commercial or construction equipment drivetrain or hydraulic system. The craftsmanship is utilitarian and high-spec, designed for durability in harsh industrial settings.
