HAWK VBT UNLOADER VALVE
Code: 1785/FOG
Product detailed description
The VBT High Pressure Unloader Valve – 275 Bar is a compact, high-efficiency brass by-pass valve engineered for demanding industrial and commercial high-pressure cleaning systems. With a maximum working pressure of 275 bar and a flow rate capacity of 25 litres per minute, this valve ensures precise pressure control and reliable performance in high-demand environments.
Equipped with an integrated banjo connection, the VBT valve is designed for direct installation on the pump manifold, reducing the need for additional fittings and simplifying system configuration. Its compact design allows easy integration into tight equipment layouts, while the robust brass body guarantees long-term durability and corrosion resistance in tough industrial conditions.
This high-pressure unloader valve is particularly well-suited for use with plunger pumps in professional high-pressure cleaners, especially in industries such as automotive cleaning, food industry sanitation, municipal and agricultural maintenance, and drain and sewer cleaning. The integrated by-pass system protects the pump by diverting excess flow when the system is not actively spraying, improving system longevity and safety.
The HAWK VBT unloader valve combines pressure reliability, space-saving installation, and heavy-duty performance—ideal for OEM applications, maintenance professionals, and industrial equipment operators who require consistent, controlled pressure output in compact form.
