Abstract
This invention concerns a relief valve for use in a swimming pool cleaner hose and has a body with an outlet for connection into the nose. A tubular inlet to the body carries a spider supporting a clamping flange which secures the outer periphery of a resilient annular diaphragm to the end of the body. The diaphragm has its inner periphery in frictional engagement with the inlet. The inlet may be mounted for axial movement against a resilient bias to engage the diaphragm only while a predetermined minimum flow passes through the valve.
