Abstract
A relief valve assembly includes a relief valve, a hollow shell disposed on the relief valve so as to form a relieving chamber, and a cap mounted to the hollow shell and closing off a distal end of the relief valve to an external environment. The hollow shell has a distal aperture and a proximal aperture, and the distal end of the relief valve is inserted into the hollow shell through the proximal aperture and protrudes through the distal aperture. The relief valve includes a relief port forming a fluid flow path between a valve chamber of the relief valve and the relieving chamber, and the hollow shell extends past the relief port along a longitudinal axis of the relief valve. The relief valve includes a slide member configured to move in response to an over-pressure condition, and a fluid vents from the valve chamber to the relieving chamber through the relief port.
