NEW PRODUCT ALERT! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Background: In the past, using anti siphon valves between\nthe day tank and a generator has been discouraged due to the low vacuum\ncapability of generator pumps. A generator fuel oil pump may only be able to\npull 5 in. Hg. In addition, there is a filter installed between the day tank\nand the generator pump that takes a 2-3\u201d Hg pressure drop. This means that only\n2\u201d Hg could be available to open an anti-siphon valve, which poses a problem\nfor most designs. Engineers have addressed the need to prevent siphoning from a\nday tank by installing a solenoid valve that opens when the generator pump\nturns on. However, this solenoid needs to be wired and is dependent on the\ncontrols functioning properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution: Now, Preferred has a better solution! We now have an anti-siphon valve that will open with only 2\u201d Hg of suction available, and it is designed for application between the day tank and the generator pump. In addition, this Low Vacuum Anti Siphon Valve is UL Listed. For diesel handling components, it is important to ensure the valves one is purchasing are listed by a an agency such as UL as it ensures compliance to a standard and that the product has been independently evaluated. This Low Vacuum Anti Siphon Valve<\/a> is available in \u00bd\u201d up to 2\u201d NPT. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEW PRODUCT ALERT!
