After the relief valve opens it will not shut off until line pressure is reduced. Is it faulty?

Frequently Asked Questions - Fisher Regulators
When using relief valves, be sure to remember that the reseat point is lower than the start-to-bubble point. To avoid seepage, keep the relief valve set point far enough above the regulator set point. Cutting the supply pressure to a pilot-operated regulator reduces the regulator gain or sensitivity and, thus, may improve regulator stability. (This can only be used with two-path control.)
