16AMP-AR Air Relief Valves
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.
16AMP-VB Vent Valves
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.
