A valve apparatus that includes surge relief includes a valve housing having an inlet port, an outlet port, and a poppet seat between the inlet port and the outlet port. The valve also includes a first moveable poppet piece having a closed position against the poppet seat that closes the valve. At least one surge discharge port passes through the first moveable poppet piece. The valve also includes a second moveable poppet piece compressionally biased in a position to seal the fluid discharge port or ports in the first moveable poppet piece. The second moveable poppet piece is responsive to a surge pressure when the valve is closed to unseal the surge discharge port or ports temporarily to relieve the surge pressure.
