Product detailed description
The VHP18/160 UNLOADER VALVE 160 BAR – HIGH-FLOW INDUSTRIAL BYPASS VALVE FOR URBAN CLEANING & FIRE-FIGHTING is a specialized pressure control valve from Mecline, engineered to support very high flow rates in medium-pressure applications. With a maximum pressure rating of 160 bar and an outstanding flow capacity of up to 160 litres per minute, this valve is ideal for systems requiring large-volume water delivery.
Optimized for urban cleaning trucks, fire-fighting vehicles, and other mobile high-flow systems, the VHP18/160 offers stable and efficient pressure regulation. Its design ensures safe operation by redirecting excess pressure through a bypass circuit, protecting the pump and connected equipment from overpressure damage.
Built for integration into mobile or stationary washing systems, the VHP18/160 is a reliable solution for applications where volume matters as much as pressure. This includes municipal water jetting, sewer flushing, street cleaning, and rapid-response fire suppression setups.
With its durable construction and flow-focused performance, the Mecline VHP18/160 unloader valve is the trusted choice for municipal, emergency, and utility services requiring robust control of high-volume water delivery under consistent pressure.
