Pumps & Conveying System Components   Chapter 3: Installation

•  Check valves are a critical feature on single line Y systems. You must have a check

valve installed on the material inlet inside the receiver on all vacuum hoppers in single
line Y installations.

•  Check valves must open when the receiver is being loaded and seal to prevent a

vacuum leak when other hoppers are being loaded.

•  Vacuum receivers for these systems have a special factory-installed extended material

inlet tube to hold the check valve.

•  The check valve must not be pressed too far onto the inlet stub to prevent proper

sealing.

•  The hinge of the check valve should be up to prevent material from being deflected up

into the vacuum hopper filter.

•  Do not allow vacuum receivers with check valves to be over-filled to a point above the

bottom of the check valve. Over-filling prevents the check valve from sealing and
creates a vacuum loss. Adjust the conveying time on Time-Fill systems to prevent this
from happening.

•  Inspect periodically for erosion or wear. Replace as required.
