    Super Joe,

    I imported mine from Duane at HTP (High Tec Performance Inc).

    The relief valve is adjustable, 0-400 PSI, mine is set at 15 PSI - I had a pressure gauge custom made that reads from 0 - 30 PSI with a white face up to 15PSI. From 15PSI -30PSI it is colored red.

    The way my system is plumbed the valve is only there as a fail safe.

    I have preset mine with compressed air and did the fine tuning on the water.

    Gate valve is fully opened.

    The gauge I had locally made.

    The reason I chose this particular valve is the T-handle adjuster and it has a lock nut that prevents the valve from loosing its setting.

    Duane is a super nice guy and very helpful - look him up on his website - it will be money well spent.

    My gauge is mounted on the engine next to the dizzy.

    Home Depot or Lowes have water pressurs guages with recall so you don't have to keep looking at the guage, $10
