Vacuum interface units are used when gravity based appliances, such as wash basins, sinks and urinals, are connected to a vacuum sewage system. Vacuum interface valves are available in 2 and 5 litre versions. The tank of the 2 litre unit (upper picture on the right) is made of polypropylene, and the tank of the 5 litre unit (lower picture on the right) is made of corrosion resistant AISI 316.
Both of the vacuum interface valves make use of the proven Evac pneumatic flush mechanism with flush memory and vacuum sensor technology. No electricity is needed.
A special version for connecting a gravity toilet to a vacuum system is also available.
Operation
The activator is triggered when a static head of 80mm has been built up in the grey water tank. The activator opens the discharge valve. After 3 seconds the discharge valve closes. When the liquid level in the tank has reached approx 80mm, the cycle is repeated. Flushing can occur only when there is sufficient operating vacuum (> - 25kPa).
