Vacuum Relief Valves

  • No-step design eliminates improper cycling of the valve to release pressure
  • Unique seal design eliminates the possibility of using incorrect materials or performing improper installation
  • The stem is guided in two places:
    • Reduces accidental cycling or "burping" of the valve due to car impact or vibration
    • Gives the valve a more consistent seal and decreases the chance of pressure leaks
