Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Protect your pneumatic setup with the Forney Brass Safety Valve 1/4 in. Male — a compact, dependable overpressure safeguard built for demanding air systems. Crafted from solid brass, this valve blends durability with corrosion resistance, making it a reliable partner for hobbyist workshops and professional shops alike.

  • Material and build: Solid brass construction for lasting performance in oil, moisture, and air environments.
  • Connection: 1/4" male NPT inlet, designed to thread neatly into standard pneumatic lines and regulators for straightforward installation.
  • Pressure rating: Rated to relieve pressure up to 150 psi, helping prevent damage to compressors, hoses, and tooling.
  • Size and fit: Compact 2-inch height fits into tight spaces without crowding your panel or cabinet.
  • Package: 1 safety valve included for quick, single-item replacement or upgrade.

Why this brass safety valve matters for your air system

In any pneumatic setup—whether you’re powering impact wrenches, spray guns, or CNC air tools—overpressure can lead to leaks, hose bursts, or equipment failure. The Forney Safety Valve acts as a reliable pressure relief device, opening automatically when your system exceeds safe levels and venting excess air to protect both components and operators.

Ideal use cases

Perfect for:

  • Compressor outlets and regulator assemblies requiring an integral safety vent
  • Paint booths, sandblasting rigs, and spray setups where consistent air pressure is critical
  • Small to mid-size workshop air lines where space is at a premium

Installation and practical tips

To get the best performance, apply standard Teflon thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/4" NPT threads and ensure a clean, dry connection. Mount the valve with the vent outlet accessible to the work area, avoiding obstruction that could impede venting. After installation, perform a careful system check to confirm there are no leaks and that the valve engages at the expected pressure range.

Comparing it to alternatives

Compared with generic metal fittings, this Forney valve emphasizes a brass construction for durable, moisture-resistant performance in real-world air lines. Its compact height and 1/4" NPT compatibility streamline integration with common compressors and regulators, reducing fit issues and installation time.

Whether you’re building a new air circuit or upgrading an aging setup, the Forney Brass Safety Valve 1/4 in. Male delivers confident protection against overpressure, helping you work more efficiently and safely.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
