Val-Matic Vacuum Breaker Valves

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Val-Matic Vacuum Breaker Valves are designed to protect pipelines and tanks from dangerous vacuum conditions by allowing a rapid inflow of atmospheric air. These valves are critical for applications where vacuum protection is essential or where column separation is anticipated. Mounted at high points, penstocks, or tanks, they respond quickly to vacuum conditions, opening at just 0.25 psi of vacuum.

Val-Matic Vacuum Breakers are available in a wide range of sizes from 1/2" to 42", with optional features such as air release valves for venting entrained air. Manufactured under a certified ISO 9001 quality system, these valves are built for reliability and performance. Val-Matic also offers an automated sizing program to help select the right valve for your application.
