The basic system consists of two Venturis air primers, two priming valves, an auto or manual-prime control panel, and a compressed air supply equipped with a pressure protection valve. Additional components, or a combination of components, allow you to operate the system from multiple locations and prime multiple locations individually or simultaneously.
Venturis Air Primer:
The Venturis air primer system uses the on-board air supply to create a vacuum to prime the fire pump. The basic system consists of a Venturis Air Primer, priming valve and auto or manual prime control panel.
Vacuum Activated Priming Valve (VAP):
This valve consists of a stainless steel valve stem, spring and pressure disk in a plastic valve body. A rubber disk forms the seat for the valve stem and also forms a seal between the priming valve inlet and the pump body. A rubber diaphragm forms a seal which allows the valve to open and close while isolating the interior of the priming valve from atmospheric pressure
