  • Page 6: Valve Operation

    Valve Closed Valve Open The VD520-SS is normally a closed diaphragm valve. When air pressure (70psi minimum) is applied into the air input (1), the piston (2) is forced upwards. This causes the sealing surface of the diaphragm (3) to lift upwards and allow fluid material to flow through and out of the fluid outlet of the valve (4).
