World innovation featuring versatile minimized Air Stop Drain Valve for duplex use in lavatories and galleys. Decreasing size and weight in peripherical equipment behind cowling creates a versatile solution in aircraft gray water handling.

Discussing size and weight has been storyteller’s most comprehensive undertaking for decades. How can the instruments needed to provide onboard aircraft comfort be optimized securing latest standards?

Germany ́s Hebmueller GROUP with its aerospace division has now come up with a world innovation featuring versatile Air Stop Drain Valves for duplex use in lavatories and galleys. New designs offer a reduced opening height to create a better handling in limited build space.

Current Airstop Drain Valves such as the Hebmueller VR10-3A offer a reduced installation space compared to other valves. These valves achieve this through an opening height of maximum 500mm and thus set the standard in gray water disposal in galleys. However, such Air Stop Drain Valves and the compact design cannot usually be used in lavatories due to the opening height.

Now this industry known valve specialist was able to create an even lower level of opening height offering a maximum 200mm crack pressure within one automated gray water solution in combination with a small installation space at reduced weight. Improved design combined with implemented adaptions from recent product lines will be displayed at Hamburg for the first time.

Understanding this new level of performance reveals one very important advantage. Hebmueller’s new Air Stop Drain Valve offers duplex use due to the shorter length of the supply hose. Placing the all-new optimized valve closer to the sink allows for variations in construction.

Smaller parts with long run output in size and weight reduction keep bringing evolution into the aircraft cabin. Integrated brackets help with the attachment of the valves. Resistance against oblique pulling under use is provided.

The interchangeability of first-party parts gives aircraft manufacturers and service providers a long-term advantage in cost and construction. This new all in one Air Stop Drain valve does the job of equivalent previous types.

The family-managed Hebmueller GROUP is known for a full line of valves, regulators, couplings, hoses, mixers, heat exchangers and catalyzers, helping to raise production efficiency and save resources in various industries worldwide.
