Frequently asked questions

Does this valve fit the Apollo/Midmark AVB10RR vacuum unit?

Yes, this component is specifically engineered to be compatible with Apollo/Midmark AVB10RR vacuum units. It is designed for seamless integration within the manifold assembly of these specific systems.

Can I adjust the vacuum relief pressure setting?

Yes, the valve is fully adjustable to ensure precise operation for your specific needs. It comes with a factory preset of approximately 5 lbs, and you can fine-tune it with the following ratio:

  • Adjustment Rate: 1-1/2 turns of the adjusting nut equals 1 lb. of force.
Is this a direct replacement for OEM parts?

Absolutely. This RPI VPV060 is designed as a direct replacement for OEM parts PVV85981 and PVV85980, ensuring you maintain the manufacturer’s specifications without compromise.

What materials are used to ensure long-term durability?

This valve is built to withstand the rigors of dental and laboratory environments using high-grade components:

  • Body: Constructed from White PVC for superior chemical resistance and structural integrity.
  • Seal: Features an EPDM seal, which is known for its reliable sealing properties and durability.
Is there a recommended part to service alongside this valve?

Yes, it is often recommended to check your system’s foam element. We suggest pairing this valve with the Foam Element (RPI Part #CMF013), which is available as a separate purchase to help keep your vacuum system running at peak performance.

How does this valve help protect my vacuum system?

The primary role of the VPV060 is to safeguard your dental vacuum system. It automatically functions to relieve excessive vacuum pressure, preventing system stress and ensuring consistent, safe operation during daily use.

Are the inlet and outlet connections standard size?

Yes, the valve uses standard plumbing specifications to ensure easy integration into your existing setup:

  • Inlet: 1” FPT (Female Pipe Thread)
  • Outlet: 1” MPT (Male Pipe Thread)
Does this arrive ready for immediate installation?

Yes, the valve is supplied in Factory New condition. This ensures that the component arrives with the structural integrity and precision calibration required for reliable, long-term performance in critical medical equipment.

Why is PVC chosen for this valve body?

PVC is selected for this application because it offers excellent chemical compatibility in demanding dental environments. It provides the necessary durability to handle constant operation while resisting the wear and tear common in fluid handling and vacuum systems.

How precise is the factory pressure setting?

The valve arrives with a reliable factory preset of approximately 5 lbs of vacuum relief. This provides a solid baseline for immediate installation, while the integrated mechanical adjustment nut allows technicians to easily fine-tune the pressure if your specific system requirements change.
