The VB100EP-TF is a machined PTFE vacuum breaker in the Series VB, designed to prevent vacuum-induced damage and siphoning in enclosed systems. It has a 1-inch threaded connection and uses EPDM diaphragm seals, as indicated by the 'EP' suffix in the model number. The device operates with a normally-closed, self-sealing design and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 100 psi at 75°F (24°C), with pressure ratings decreasing at higher temperatures. It is suitable for use in corrosive or ultra-pure liquid applications. Installation is recommended in an upright position, though it can be mounted in any orientation. The part is part of a series that eliminates fugitive emissions and provides bubble-tight sealing without wetted metals.
Series VB/VBM Patented diaphragm design assures dependable, repetitive, bubble-tight sealing to protect enclosed tanks from collapse or structural damage during draining. Also eliminates siphoning of dangerous fluids,and prevents vacuum damage to sensitive instruments and filters. 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ in a wide range of materials and connection types.
Series VBS PFA encapsulated spring and special poppet provide performance identical to VB/VBM with same protection for tanks and piping systems against hazards, damage and financial losses caused by unwanted vacuum conditions. 1-1/2″ to 4″ sizes in a wide range of materials and connection types.
