    good, if you want the unloader and or regulator to last longer , one should install but not neccessary a "balance pressure regulator right after the unloader/regulator.

    I have an unloader that releases to a T installed on the inlet side of my Hawk pump. This unloader is 20 yrs old never a problem.
