A.R.I. VB-060

Disc-type, Spring-loaded Vacuum Breaker Series

A.R.I. VB-060 is a normally closed, disc-type, spring-loaded full-bore Vacuum Breaker Series. It is designed to seal “drip-tight” and to open fully at minimal differential pressure, allowing intake of air into the pipeline or system when vacuum conditions occur; thus protecting the pipeline.
