1.5" Tri-Clamp Pressure Reducing Valve/Vacuum Breaker 15PSI

15 PSI Vacuum Pressure Relief Valve – 1.5″ Tri-Clamp

Spring-Loaded Protection from Overpressure and Vacuum Collapse

This 15 PSI pressure and vacuum relief valve offers essential dual-direction protection for sealed brewing vessels. Spring-loaded for consistent and automatic operation, it prevents both dangerous overpressure and damaging vacuum conditions during fermentation, transfers, cold crashing, or CIP. Made from 304 stainless steel and designed to fit any standard 1.5″ tri-clamp port, it’s a compact, sanitary solution for fermenters, brite tanks, and Unitanks.

Rated to relieve pressure at 15 PSI and break vacuum below atmospheric pressure.
Spring-loaded mechanism ensures reliable and repeatable function.
Protects tanks from pressure spikes and collapse due to cleaning, draining, or temperature swings.
Constructed from 304 stainless steel for sanitary, corrosion-resistant performance.
Compact tri-clamp design is easy to install and remove.
Ideal for use on fermenters, brite tanks, or any sealed pressure-capable brewing vessel.

How It Works

The internal stainless spring opens the valve to vent excess pressure above 15 PSI and allows air in when vacuum conditions occur. This prevents tank deformation and maintains safe operating conditions in closed systems.

Applications

Fermenter and brite tank pressure safety
Vacuum break during cold crashing or draining
CIP and closed-loop cleaning operations
Use with Unitanks or other pressure-rated vessels

Install this valve on any 1.5″ tri-clamp PRV port to protect your equipment and ensure safe, consistent operation batch after batch.
Description
Technical Details

Installation

  1. Sanitize the valve thoroughly before installation.
  2. Install the valve on any 1.5″ tri-clamp PRV port on your fermenter lid or dedicated relief port.
  3. Ensure the valve is installed vertically for proper function.
  4. Do not overtighten the tri-clamp — a secure, gasket-sealed fit is sufficient.


💡Tip:This valve is often installed alongside a spunding valve or blow-off system to provide passive, automatic pressure and vacuum protection.

🧼 Cleaning & Maintenance

  • After each use, disassemble the valve by removing the clamp and inspecting internal components.
  • Soak all stainless parts in a non-corrosive brewery-approved sanitizer (e.g. PBW followed by Star San).
  • Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before reassembly.
  • Inspect the spring and valve seat for debris or wear. Replace if damaged.
  • Lubrication is not required and may reduce performance.


⚠️Never boil this valveor expose it to harsh caustics that may compromise the spring tension or seals.
