1Introduction
1.1 Scope and definitions
This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards IPVA10EK air admittance
valve. The valve must be used as specified in this manual.
Read this manual before installing and operating the valve. Important safety information is highlighted as WARNING
instructions; these instructions must be obeyed.
The use of WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are defined below.
CAUTION
Cautions are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in damage to the equipment, associated
equipment and process.
The following warning symbols can be found on this product:
The units used throughout this manual conform to the SI international system of units of measurement.
1.2 Description
The IPVA10EK valve is solenoid-operated and is designed for the automatic admittance of air or vent gas into a
vacuum system. The vacuum system is isolated from atmosphere (or the vent gas supply) by a fluoroelastomer pad
on the base of the valve-plunger which seals against the body of the valve.
The valve has two ports with NW flanges. One of these flanges is used to connect the valve to the vacuum system;
the other flange can be left open to atmosphere or connected to a vent gas supply.
Normally-open and normally-closed versions of the valve with a range of different electrical supplies are available to
suit the application.
WARNING
Warnings are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in injury or death to
people.
Warning - refer to accompanying documentation.
Warning - hot surface.
