Key Applications

In suction lines when the 40CF-AR valve is under vacuum, the ball is pulled down against the bottom seat and seals against air entry.
When the vacuum is relieved in the process line, the ball loses its seal on the bottom seat, and any air in the process line is allowed to pass through the body of the valve and out of the system.
When flooded with liquid, the floating nylon ball is held closed against the upper seat by pressure.
Should the process line fill with air, the body of the valve will also fill with air. The ball falls from the top seat and the air is allowed to escape.
NOT FOR USE IN TANKS.
