Abstract
A pressure relief valve with a stop disposed thereon to ensure components of the pressure relief valve are properly aligned and tightened properly. This allows the components and pressure relief valve to be properly installed and the pressure relief valve to function properly. The stop feature also reduces the time of installation and amount of labor needed to install pressure relief valves and their components.

A valve, comprising:
- a valve body having inlet and outlet ports and defining a fluid flow path between the ports;
- a valve seat disposed in the fluid flow path;
- a pressure relief valve body disposed in and coupled to the valve body, wherein the pressure relief valve includes a relief port aligned with the outlet port;
- a valve head disposed in the pressure relief valve body and biased into engagement with the valve seat, wherein the valve head is movable between an unactuated position, wherein the valve head is engaged with the valve seat, and an actuated position, wherein the valve head is disengaged with the valve seat;
- and
- a stop extending radially outwardly and disposed proximate to an end of the pressure relief valve body opposite the valve seat, wherein the stop is adapted to provide a contact indication when the pressure relief valve body is coupled to the valve body and the relief port is aligned with the outlet port.
