Milton 1097‑8 ½″ OD × ⅜″ MNPT Load Genie Safety Valve

Milton 1097‑8 ½″ OD × ⅜″ MNPT Load Genie Safety Valve is a precision-engineered relief valve that protects pneumatic compressors by venting discharge line pressure silently during shutoff, preventing pressure hold‑ups and significantly reducing start‑up load. Specifically designed with a compression inlet fitting to fit ½″ OD tubing and a ⅜″ MNPT outlet, this valve offers versatile installation options in your pneumatic setup.

Constructed from industrial-grade brass with stainless steel internal components and a fluorocarbon piston seal, the Milton 1097‑8 Load Genie Safety Valve reliably handles 250 psi maximum operating pressure and extreme temperatures up to 450 °F . It’s capable of relieving airflow at 1–6 SCFM—adequately bleeding off pressure in compressors up to around 400 RPM .

By venting compressed air silently, the Milton 1097‑8 prevents backflow into the compressor tank or pressure switch, ensuring smoother rest cycles and less mechanical wear. Its compact size (approx. 2.4″ long) makes it ideal for mounting in tight spaces near compressor outlets or manifolds.
