A horizontal internal piston shifts based on downstream pressure to allow flow to either travel to the wand or back to the source through the by pass port. An unloader contains a check valve that traps pressure between the closed downstream device shut off gun and the unloader causing an internal piston to open which allows the pump to unload at low pressure.
