relief v/v is used to save the system from excessive

Answer / parthapratim ganguly
Pressure reducing valve will control or reduce the pressure on the downstream.It may not have any drain port, but it should accompany a pressure relief valve on the upstream.
Pressure relief valve will only provide safety of the upstream sytem. This must have a drain port leading the tank.
