Abstract
The present invention provides a valve assembly for relieving fluid pressure having a pump housing with a low pressure inlet chamber and a high pressure discharge chamber, a relief aperture positioned between the low pressure inlet chamber and the high pressure discharge chamber, a valve seat along the perimeter of the relief aperture, and a valve body located in the high pressure discharge chamber. The valve body has a first end capable of engaging the valve seat in a closed position and is also capable of axial travel opposite the fluid discharge at a predetermined pressure.
