Overview and Features

The Model VB assembly consists of a brass body with threaded ends, stainless steel ball and EPN “O” ring seat.  The successful combination of spring action, round ball and a soft resilient seat provides positive bubble-tight closing, even at very low differential pressure.  And, of course, the higher the pressure the tighter the seal.  The device is suitable for pressures up to 300 PSIG and 365° F and opens to relieve unwanted pressure with less than 2” Hg.

Application

Some fuel oil loop systems can develop a siphoning effect caused by fuel oil returning to a fuel oil storage tank from a non-vented fuel oil supply header.  The valve installs directly into the riser line located at the lowest pressure point of the fuel oil return line and admits air before oil can begin to be siphoned.
