    Pressure relief valves and pressure reducing valves differ in their normal position, pilot function, and ability to externally drain. Pressure relief valves are normally closed and monitor upstream pressure to relieve excess pressure, keeping downstream pressure near zero without external drainage. Pressure reducing valves are normally open, monitor downstream pressure to maintain a set working pressure, and can externally drain.
