Comprised of a nylon poppet valve with a buna o-ring seal, the valves can be supplied with 304 stainless steel, or 316L stainless steel cap bodies
The valve is supplied in sizes 1½" - 3" (38mm - 76mm)
Compact and mounted in an S-Line Clamp Connection, the 16AMP-AR relieves air/vapor pressure and is most commonly used on the inlet of a Centrifugal Pump so when the pump is operating, the valve is sealed by the low suction pressure. However, when the pump is "air locked," the pressure increases and the valve opens to let the air out of the system.
NOT FOR USE IN TANKS
16AMP-VB Vent Valves
Comprised of a nylon poppet valve with a buna o-ring seal, the valves can be supplied with 304 stainless steel or 316L stainless steel cap-like bodies.
The valve is supplied in sizes 1½" - 3" (38mm - 76mm)
A common application is on HTST pasteurizers where the 16AMP-VB valve is installed in the pasteurized side of the system
Raw (unpasteurized) milk must drain toward the raw supply and not in the pasteurized direction
The 16AMP-VB vacuum breaker is installed at the highest point in the piping, so that the product will drain in two directions from point of installation
Compact and mounted in an S-Line Clamp Connection, the 16AMP-VB Vacuum Breaker is used to prevent the formation of a vacuum in process lines.
