VB 100 VACUUM BREAKER

TERMINAL > LOADING > ACCESSORIES

The VB100 vacuum breaker is used in top loading arms, fitted downstream of the dead man valve to ensure that a vacuum can not form in the drop tube which would result in retained product and possible environmental contamination, particularly with heavy or viscous products.

A spring loaded poppet opens at a set pressure to allow air into the top of the drop tube to stop vacuum forming and prevent a product hang-up.

No in-field adjustment is necessary with pre-set vacuum settings according to type.

FEATURES

Depressing the cap opens the poppet and allows flushing of the seat without removing from service.

MOUNTING

In to 12mm BSP female socket. Ensure poppet head is level with the inner end of the socket thread inside the pipe when fitted in order to maximise flow area.
