yes EVERY bottle should have it... cuz of safty reason... it slowly release if pressure is to high to handle...

the valve is actually a burst disk. When the bottle pressure exceeds what the burst disk will hold, the disk will blow out and you will lose all of your n2o in a matter of seconds. you can also get a blow down tube to vent all the n2o out of the vehicle if you are in the same air space as the bottle. I imagine when the burst disk goes the n2o comes out violently, so be carefull when choosing where to mount your bottle.
