To be used with all safety instructions that must be followed. A failure to follow the
instructions may result in injury and/or incorrect machine operation.
1.2 Explanation of warning symbols
Pilot pressure

Adjustment
Air outlet
The SAMSON Vacuum Limiter Valve is designed to control the pressure (vacuum) level and to avoid
cavitation in the pump.
The Vacuum Limiter Valve is installed when the suction line may force the pump to operate below the
cavitation limit. Air must then be supplied to the suction side of the pump through the vacuum limiter,
which is regulated according to the required pressure.
Cavitation arises when the pressure in the pump falls to under the steam pressure for the service liquid,
which makes the liquid boiling and steam bubbles arise in the service liquid. Continuous operation will
cause great mechanical damage.
1.3 Functional description

The SAMSON vacuum limiter is exclusively designed for SAMSON liquid ring pumps!
Important technical and safety instructions is showed by symbols. If instructions are not performed

• Install the vacuum limiter on the suction line by using the 1” BSP thread.
• Connect the hose to the suction line by using the 1/8” BSP nipple hose and the two straps, which are
included in the kit.
• If you have an exsisting installation, you are able to use M6 nipple hose on your suction line.
Step 1) When the pump is running, close the valve by turning the M6 set
screw counter clockwise (-direction)
Step 2) Open the valve by turning the set srew clockwise (+direction), until
the required set pressure is reached.
It is recommended to adjust the valve to the lowest set pressure as possible to avoid cavitation in the pump
and unacceptable noise from the air inlet.
