New Vacuum Sanitation Valve Cuts Maintenance And Repair Costs Jets Vacuum AS of Norway has introduced a new electronically-con- trolled valve for flushing control units on vacuum toilet systems. The company reports that the valve mechanism in traditional vacuum toilets is expensive to ser- vice and maintain due to the great number of parts in the flushing con- trol unit. The Jets Electronic Controlled Toilet Valve, the EFD valve, elimi- nates many problems. The EFD valve has a control device consisting of fewer components than a tradi- tional unit, of which only two mov- ing parts are involved. The end result, therefore, is a reliable and simple system, requiring no pre- ventative maintenance and a mini- mum of back up spare parts. This allows for fast and easy trouble shooting and repair. More than 10,000 of Jets EFD valves have been supplied over the past four years. Users include own- ers of traditional vacuum toilets who are able to fit an EFD valve from Jets as a direct replacement for ex- isting pneumatic control valves. Jets EFD valve is interchange- able with valve of other systems. Spare parts and service facilities will be available for owners of any kind of marine vacuum systems by the end of 1992 on a worldwide basis.
