Hydra-Cell C46ACSVSSEE Relief Valve – Stainless Steel Pressure Regulating Valve
The Hydra-Cell C46ACSVSSEE is a heavy-duty pressure relief valve built for pump systems that need reliable, adjustable pressure control across a wide operating range. With a 316 stainless steel body, piston, and seat paired with Viton O-rings, this valve is designed to hold up in demanding fluid-handling environments where corrosion resistance and durability matter. It manages flows between 0.2 and 10 GPM while regulating system pressure anywhere from 200 to 1500 PSI, making it a versatile fit for a wide range of pump setups.
What makes this valve practical for everyday use is its simple, field-serviceable design. Instead of a complex assembly, it uses a tapered plunger and matching valve seat: when pressure builds beyond the spring's set point, the plunger lifts and lets fluid bypass safely, protecting the rest of the system from damage. Because it mounts in-line and can be serviced by simply removing the top of the body, technicians can replace worn internal parts without disconnecting any fittings or plumbing, saving time on maintenance.
This relief valve is commonly paired with Hydra-Cell pumps used in agriculture, car wash systems, industrial processing, water treatment, and general high-pressure fluid transfer applications. Its baffled flow-through design reduces wear on internal components, extending service life even under frequent pressure cycling, while its balancing capability makes it well suited for multi-outlet or multi-gun systems that need consistent pressure across every discharge point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the C46ACSVSSEE be adjusted to a specific pressure setting?
A: Yes, the valve uses a standard adjustable spring, allowing it to be set anywhere within its 200-1500 PSI range to match the requirements of the connected pump system.
Q: Does this valve need to be removed from the plumbing for maintenance?
A: No, it can be serviced in place. Removing the top of the body gives access to the internal plunger, seat, and seals without disconnecting any fittings or lines.
Q: Is this valve suitable for corrosive or high-purity fluids?
A: Its 316 stainless steel construction and Viton seals make it a strong option for corrosive, high-temperature, or chemically demanding fluid applications, though compatibility should always be confirmed against the specific fluid being pumped.
Q: Can one relief valve support multiple discharge outlets or spray guns?
A: Yes, the valve's design allows it to balance system pressure across multiple outlets, making it suitable for setups with several guns or discharge points operating from the same pump.
Q: What happens when system discharge is fully closed, such as a shut-off nozzle?
A: The valve bypasses the entire system flow, preventing pressure from building beyond the spring setting and protecting the pump and plumbing from damage.
