Y692VB Series Vacuum Breakers

Introduction

Scope of the Manual

This manual provides instructions and a parts list
for Types Y692VB and Y692VBM vacuum breakers.
Instructions and parts lists for other equipment used
with these breakers are found in separate manuals.

Product Description

The Y692VB Series vacuum breakers are used for
precise control of small capacity, low-pressure service
applications where an increase in vacuum must be
limited. These direct-operated vacuum breakers come
in NPS 1-1/2 and 2 (DN 40 and 50) body sizes and
have a 3/4 or 1-3/16-inch (19 or 30 mm) orice and
a 3/4-inch (19 mm) spring case vent connection with
optional umbrella vent assembly. The products are
described as follows:

Y692VB Series

Type Y692VB—Type Y692VB has internal pressure
registration, so it does not require a control line.

Type Y692VBM—Type Y692VBM has a control line
connection and an O-ring stem seal to block the throat
for external pressure registration.

Specications

Some general ratings and specications for the
Y692VB Series vacuum breakers are given on page 2.
Individual vacuum breakers come from the factory with
the specic data stamped on the nameplate.

exceed any ratings of the adjacent
piping or piping connections. To
avoid such injury or damage, provide
pressure-relieving or pressure-limiting
devices (as required by the appropriate
code, regulation, or standard) to prevent
service conditions from exceeding
those limits. Additionally, physical
damage to this equipment could cause
personal injury or property damage due
to escaping gas. To avoid such injury or
damage, install the equipment in a safe
and well-ventilated location.

Equipment operation within ratings does not preclude
the possibility of damage from debris in the lines
or from external sources. This equipment should
be inspected for damage periodically and after any
overpressure condition.

WARNING

!

This equipment may vent some gas
to the atmosphere. In hazardous or
ammable gas service, vented gas may
accumulate and cause personal injury,
death, or property damage due to re or
explosion. Vent equipment in hazardous
gas service to a remote, safe location
away from air intakes or any hazardous
area. The vent line or stack opening
must be protected against condensation
or clogging.

Principle of Operation

An increase in vacuum (decrease in absolute
pressure) beyond the setpoint registers on the
diaphragm, opening the disk. This permits body
inlet pressure to enter the system and restore the
controlled vacuum to the setpoint. On Type Y692VB,
the pressure at the regulator body outlet registers

VACUUM BEING LIMITED

directly into the diaphragm casing. Type Y692VBM
has a control line connecting the diaphragm casing
to the vacuum being controlled and an O-ring stem
seal blocking the throat allowing for registration
only through the control line connection (outlet body
pressure may or may not be the same as the pressure
in the diaphragm casing).

Startup and Adjustment

All Y692VB Series vacuum breakers can be placed
in operation by slowly introducing inlet pressure.
The unit takes control when vacuum is established.
This equipment is suitable for the vacuum control
pressure range stamped on the nameplate (key 50,
Figure 5). To adjust the pressure setting, remove
the closing cap (key 3) and turn the adjusting nut
(key 2) clockwise to increase the pressure setting or
counterclockwise to decrease the setting. Replace
the closing cap after adjustment. The closing cap
may be wired to the hole provided in the spring case
(key 23) to discourage tampering.

Shutdown

To shut down the unit, close the upstream shut-off
valve, and then close the downstream shut-off valve to
vent the equipment properly. Next, open the vent valve

3

Y692VB Series

between the equipment and the downstream shut-off
valve nearest to it. All pressure between these shut-off
valves is released through the open vent valve.

Maintenance

Vacuum breaker parts are subject to normal wear
and must be inspected and replaced as necessary.
Inspection frequency and replacement of parts
depends on the severity of service conditions,
applicable codes, government regulations, and
company standards.

WARNING

!

To avoid personal injury, property
damage, or equipment damage
caused by sudden release of pressure
or explosion of accumulated gas,
do not attempt any maintenance or
disassembly without rst isolating the
vacuum breaker from system pressure
and relieving all internal pressure.
