Milton 1098‑6 Load Genie safety valve 3/8″ x 3/8″

Description

Milton 1098‑6 Load Genie safety valve 3/8″ x 3/8″ is a high-performance unloader and check valve crafted for compressed air systems. Engineered to relieve pressure in discharge manifolds safely, it ensures reliable compressor cycling without intricate tubing or bulky external relays. The compact design, made from durable brass, offers both vertical and horizontal installation flexibility.

Operating on fundamentals of efficiency and simplicity, the Milton 1098‑6 safety valve 3/8″ x 3/8″ enables automatic unloading when a compressor stops, preventing pressurization of the manifold and reducing starter load. This Load Genie model is practical for compact systems where space-saving and quiet operation matter.

The valve handles up to 250 psi maximum working pressure and allows up to 6 SCFM of flow—sufficient capacity for most small-to-medium compressor applications yet compact enough for precise control. Rated for temperatures up to 450 °F, it maintains performance in high-heat environments like continuous-duty operation rooms.

Made in the USA, the Milton 1098‑6 Load Genie safety valve 3/8″ x 3/8″ commits to quality craftsmanship and American manufacturing standards.
