An improved relief valve, particularly suited for interior use in refrigeration systems. The valve includes a valve body having an inlet, an outlet, and a passageway therebetween with a valve seat positioned in the passageway. Inside of the passageway are mounted an adjustable valve spring retainer, a coil valve spring, a valve piston including a fluorocarbon sealing surface thereon, and a bearing means mounted between one end of the valve spring and either the retainer or valve piston. The spring retainer is adjusted by turning in its threaded mounting. The bearing means prevents the turning moment applied to the retainer from extending to the valve piston. Any rotational relation between the piston sealing surface and seat which would be deleterious to the sealing engagement is eliminated.
