    Inspection of the ventilating valve As a matter of principle, a ventilating valve must be installed as safety element on the VacuStar L400's suction side. When the set vacuum is reached, the ventilating valve opens and admits atmospheric auxiliary air into the system. The operational capability must be checked weekly with the aid of a vacuum meter at the VacuStar L400's inlet.
