2” Anti-Syphon Valve

Anti-Siphon Valve

The Anti-Siphon is used on above ground storage tanks to prevent spillage

and to avoid other potential hazards. In the event a siphon occurs due to
rupture in the product pipe line, the valve will automatically stop the product
flow. The valve is a normally closed check valve and will resist hydrostatic
head pressure and prevent siphoning. The anti-siphon valve features a rust
resistant epoxy coated cast iron body, precision machined bronzed seat,
Bunga-N seals and is also available with pressure relief valve to relieve
thermal expansion (Model 620PR).

Note: The Hydrostatic head pressure of the siphon is determined by the

vertical height of the product in the system. It is usually measured from the
top of the tank (highest liquid level) to the lowest point in the line. It is this
vertical height that determines the spring pressure for the valve. If head
pressure is not specified when ordering the 0-5’ setting will be supplied.
