Default RE: dv valve

Cheers Lid. Appreciate it. Its gets a bit odd sometimes. In the UK we call BOV's - Dump Valves (DV's) sometimes, so I was a little confuddled as to what you guys called them.
They are a dump alve ( what you would call a BOV), or a recirc DV, ( a recirc dump valve). Some peeps call them Blow off valves too, so I felt I had to check, even if it made me look a little silly!

Default RE: dv valve

Well i'm in Australia, but my understanding is

DV = Diverter Valve
BOV = Blow off Valve
RV = Recirculation Valve

&

VD = Veneral Disease

The RV & DV are the same. Period. People call them different things depending on which brand the buy like bosch call them a Turbo By Pass valve... F.uck know's why they do this, except it confuses the shi.t out of most of us. I'm unsure of dumpvalve but i'm pretty sure it is a BOV

A blow off valve is a dump valve. Same thing. But we called diverter valves recirc valves. I was gettin all confused over dv's, as they seemed to mean different things.

By the way, you guys scraped through yeasterday!! Not often rain saves the convicts! Normally us chaps that are praying for rain!
