Description
ELGi B012805340036 Safety Valve (205 PSI) – 1/2 BSP
Replacement safety relief valve • 205 PSI set pressure • 1/2 BSP threaded connection
This 205 PSI safety relief valve provides mechanical overpressure protection for compressed air systems. When pressure exceeds the valve’s set point, the valve opens to vent air and reduce pressure, then reseats when conditions return to normal.
It is used on compressor packages and/or receivers where a 205 PSI relief rating and 1/2 BSP connection are required.
Key Features
- 205 PSI pressure relief rating: Provides overpressure protection for systems requiring this relief threshold.
- 1/2 BSP connection: Fits applications using BSP threaded ports (verify BSP type and sealing method on your system).
- Mechanical safety backstop: Helps protect equipment even if controls or pressure switches fail.
- Service replacement part: Intended to restore proper protection when a valve is leaking or out of tolerance.

Installation & Application Notes
- Install and service only by qualified personnel and follow local safety and pressure-vessel requirements.
- Do not alter the set pressure; replace with the correct rated valve for the system.
- Confirm your receiver and piping ratings are appropriate for a 205 PSI relief valve.
- Verify BSP thread type and sealing method (e.g., gasket/seat vs sealant) before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
ELGi 205 PSI Safety Valve – 1/2 BSP
▶️ Question: What does “205 PSI” mean on a safety valve?
Answer: It indicates the relief set point—when system pressure exceeds this value, the valve opens to vent air and reduce pressure.
▶️ Question: What does “1/2 BSP” mean, and why does it matter?
Answer: It refers to the British Standard Pipe thread size/type used on the valve connection. Matching thread standard and size is required for a safe, leak-free fit.
▶️ Question: Can I use a 205 PSI valve on any compressor?
Answer: Only if the compressor/receiver and system components are rated appropriately and the application requires that relief set point. Always match the valve to the system specification.
▶️ Question: What are common signs the valve needs replacement?
Answer: Continuous leaking, chattering, failure to reseat, visible damage/corrosion, or failing site inspection/testing practices are common indicators.
▶️ Question: Where should the discharge from a safety valve go?
Answer: The discharge must remain unobstructed and should be routed per site safety practices to avoid directing hot/high-velocity air toward personnel or sensitive equipment.
