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.
PA: valves and accessories for high-pressure cleaning
PA is an Italian manufacturer of components for pressure washers, vehicle washing and industrial cleaning equipment. Its portfolio covers pressure control, liquid delivery and operator accessories, helping equipment builders and service teams configure the complete cleaning circuit around the pump.
Product range and applications
PA products include unloader valves, spray guns, lances and other accessories used in high-pressure washing systems. The wider range also covers components for chemical application and specialised cleaning tasks. Applications extend from mobile pressure washers and car washes to cleaning installations in industrial environments.
Selection and system integration
Select each component according to the actual working pressure, water flow, temperature and connection type. An unloader valve must be compatible with the pump and circuit layout, while the gun, lance and nozzle need to work together at the intended operating point. Chemical compatibility and replacement-part identification are also essential for service work.
