A pressure valve having a fluid inlet, a first chamber, a throughbore, a second chamber, a fluid outlet and a valve stem. The valve stem is mounted within a valve body and has several different diameters. A pressure condition within one or more of the chambers acts upon the valve stem to urge the stem into either an open position or a closed position, depending upon the design of the valve. The valve is particularly suitable for bypass valves, pressure regulating valves, over-pressure protection valves, lost-pressure protection valves, and other pressure-sensitive valve applications.
