Piping 2/2 Normally Closed or Normally Open Valves
Pipe the unit into the system by connecting the vacuum source or pump to the normal air pressure
inlet port (port 1). The normal outlet port is the work port (port 2).
Note: 2/2 vacuum valves provide only on/off control and do not have an exhaust function.
Normally Open (NO)
Piping 3/2 Normally Closed Valves
In this valve configuration, pipe the unit into the system by connecting the vacuum source or pump to the
normal air pressure inlet port (port 1). The normal outlet port is the work port (port 2), and the normal air
pressure exhaust port becomes the atmosphere port (port 3).
Piping 3/2 Normally Open Valves
To obtain a 3/2 normally open ROSS vacuum valve, simply pipe the 3/2 normally closed body slightly
differently. Connect the vacuum source or pump to port 3, the normal exhaust. Leave port 1 open to
atmosphere, and the normal outlet remains as the work port (port 2).
