A relief valve for use in roller cone drilling bits of the sealed bearing type and other types of sealed fluid systems. The relief valve includes a valve body arranged to fit into the lubricating system of the bit and an elastomeric valve member having a flow port therein that is normally closed. The valve member includes a flexible lip defining the port that is arranged to permit flow in one direction through the port to relieve pressure above a predetermined value while preventing flow therethrough in the opposite direction.
