Anti Siphon Valves

1. Preventing Backflow: The anti-siphon valve is installed on the oil supply line between the heating oil tank and the burner or heating system. It is designed to allow the flow of oil in one direction (towards the burner) while preventing backflow in the opposite direction.
2. Siphoning Prevention: Siphoning can occur when there is a pressure imbalance or a vacuum in the system, leading to oil being drawn back into the tank from the burner or the oil supply line. The anti-siphon valve acts as a check valve, ensuring that oil flows only in the intended direction and preventing the creation of a siphon effect.
3. Protection Against Spills: By preventing backflow, the anti-siphon valve helps protect against accidental spills or leaks that could occur if oil were to flow back into the tank. This is particularly important for environmental and safety reasons, as oil spills can have harmful effects on the surrounding area.
4. Compliance with Regulations: In many regions, the installation of anti-siphon valves is required by local codes or regulations to ensure the safe operation of oil heating systems and to minimize the risk of environmental damage.
5. Air Intake: Anti-siphon valves often incorporate an air intake feature. This allows air to enter the oil supply line when needed, preventing a vacuum from forming and maintaining a balanced pressure in the system.

It’s important to note that the specific design and features of anti-siphon valves may vary, and they should be selected and installed in accordance with local codes and regulations. Regular maintenance and inspection of these valves are also recommended to ensure they continue to function properly and provide the necessary safety measures for the oil heating system.
