Plumbing fitting AWTools AW10190 - metal connector, MPN AW10190

Safety valve AWTools AWTOOLS 1/4" is a compact overpressure relief device designed for compressed air systems and pneumatic equipment. With a 1/4" threaded connection, the valve releases excess pressure automatically to protect compressors, air lines and downstream pneumatic tools from unsafe pressure buildup. The product is intended for inline installation in workshop compressors, distribution manifolds and point-of-use fittings where a small, reliable safety relief is required.

Advantages

The AWTools safety valve offers rapid response to overpressure events and a compact form factor that fits tight installations. Its straightforward mechanical design enables simple maintenance and inspection without complex tools. The 1/4" connection ensures compatibility with common pneumatic fittings and allows for quick inline replacement. The valve provides consistent relief performance, helping maintain safe operating conditions in compressed air systems.

Suitable for

• Workshop compressors and portable compressor units
• Pneumatic tool protection and point-of-use safety
• Air distribution lines and manifolds in service bays
• Inline protection for pressure vessels and small tanks

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/4" threaded
• Function: automatic overpressure relief
• Application: compressed air and pneumatic systems
• Installation: inline mounting in air lines or fittings
• Design: compact mechanical relief valve suitable for workshop use

How to use

Install the safety valve in the compressed air line at a location where overpressure protection is required, using compatible 1/4" threaded fittings. Ensure the valve is accessible for periodic inspection and that flow direction (if marked) is respected. After installation, perform a functional check by bringing the system to normal operating pressure and verifying that the valve remains closed under normal conditions. If set or rated to a specific relief pressure, follow the system documentation to confirm correct coordination with other protective devices. Disconnect the air supply before performing maintenance or replacement.

Usage recommendations

Use the valve only in compressed air and compatible pneumatic media. Avoid exposure to corrosive fluids or contaminants that could impair valve operation. Regularly inspect for leaks, corrosion or mechanical damage and replace the valve if its performance is compromised. Coordinate relief settings with system designers to ensure proper overpressure protection and to avoid nuisance discharges.
