Vacuum valve M2582-P / M5180-P

for boats

Description The M2582-P and M5180-P are pneumatically controlled fuel shut-off valves that open and close automatically or semi-automatically. The pneumatic control pressure can be air, oil or gas. A manual lever aids in opening the valve when control pressure is insufficient. A gas escape vent, when properly vented and maintained, releases trapped gas from the valve after shutoff. Basic Operation Automatic: As the control pressure/vacuum increases the valve will open. When the control pressure/vacuum decreases, the valve will close. Semi-Automatic: If the control pressure/vacuum is too low and the valve does not open automatically, it can be opened manually by lifting the built-in lever arm and setting the latch. The latch resets automatically when control pressure rises enough to release it. M2582-P is for 1 in. (25 mm) gas lines. It automatically opens at 2 psi (14 kPa) [.14 bar] and fully opens the seat at 3 psi (21 kPa) [.21 bar]. The valve can be manually opened with the lever and latch against inlet pressure of 80 psi (552 kPa) [5.52 bar]. The latch will release after pilot pressure reaches 2.5 psi (17 kPa) [.17 bar]. The M5180-P is for 2 in. (52 mm) gas lines. It automatically opens at 2 psi (14 kPa) [.14 bar] and fully opens the seat at 3 psi (21 kPa) [.21 bar]. The valve can be manually opened with lever and latched against inlet pressure of 100 psi (689 kPa) [6.89 bar]. The latch will release after pilot pressure reaches 2.5 psi (17 kPa) [.17 bar].
