The Johnson Vacuum Valve Siphon Breaker is used as a cheap insurance against water intrusion in the motor caused by siphoning effects in the exhaust pipe. This valve is saltwater, freshwater and glycol mixture resistant and can take an ambient temperature less than 60 degC.
Installation
Install the vacuum valve at a minimum height of 400mm above the water line and as near the boat's centre as possible so that the minimum distance is kept even when the boat heaves. Make sure that the vacuum valve is installed higher than the exhaust valve and that the connecting pipe/hose slopes evenly downwards. Mount the valve under the cockpit bench or on the wall to avoid exposure to heat or heavy vibrations.
Johnson Vacuum Valve Siphon Breaker Features:
- Non corrosive
- Easy to install
- Does not leak

Note: Temperature limits - make sure that the ambient temperature never exceeds + 60°C. Provided that the ambient temperature is between +5°C and +60°C a normal lifetime can be expected.
