HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dresser Consolidated^® today announced the availability of the new 1900 universal media pressure relief valve. This new product meets customers’ needs for a pressure-reducing valve certified for both liquid and gas with no adjustments needed.

Customers can operate the 1900 universal media valve on either liquid or gas at the same set pressure without making any adjustments making it extremely flexible.
