Vent-O-Mat RBXb2511

Combination “Surge Arrestor”

and Air Release Valve
PIPE SYSTEM PROTECTOR!

• Dampens effect of Water-Hammer at pump startup

• Provides vacuum protection when the pump stops

and the riser drains

• Automatic Surge Protection

The unique Vent-O-Mat Series RBXb incorporates as standard, three design features to
automatically protect building risers under all operating conditions, from the destructive
surge and water hammer phenomena. These features are independent of any mechanical
devices ensuring reaction in a very low milli second time span.
• Effective Air Release
During filling, air is forced through an "Anti-Shock" orifice resulting in the deceleration of
the approaching water column due to the resistance of rising air pressure in the valve. This
dampens potential pressure transients when the air valve closes. The RBXb design
ensures effective de-aeration under all pipeline flow and operating conditions, via either
one of three discharge orifices.
• Vacuum Protection
The RBXb series large orifice diameters equal the nominal size of the valve. This ensures
the least possible resistance to the intake of air and consequently the least possible
negative pressure within a draining riser.
• Guaranteed Performance
The RBXb has been designed and developed to provide the optimum usable and safe
performance relative to all functions. Selection data has been substantiated through third
party testing and can therefore be confidently referenced.

TYPICAL ARRANGEMENT
The Vent-O-Mat RBXb2511 must be
installed at the top of each riser to protect the
complete riser system.
Top Floor
An isolating valve should be installed to facilitate
maintenance.

IMPORTANT NOTE
THE RISER MUST BE CHLORINATED AND
THROUGHLY FLUSHED BEFORE SURGE
ARRESTOR IS FITTED.
