Description
Boss Solar VacRel® 40mm Vacuum Relief Valve is
An Australian-made valve for solar pool heating systems, built using premium materials to suit harsh Australian conditions. Also known as a solar pool heating vacuum breaker, it helps manage vacuum within the system by allowing air into the pipework when negative pressure develops.
Whether you’re replacing an existing vacuum relief valve or purchasing components for a new solar pool heating installation, the genuine Boss Solar VacRel® combines quality mouldings, a nitrile rubber seal and stainless steel filter mesh. It is manufactured to suit a 40mm UPVC fitting.
What does a solar pool heating vacuum relief valve do?
Solar pool heating systems circulate pool water through collectors, typically installed on the roof. When circulation stops and water moves back down through the plumbing, a vacuum can develop within the elevated pipework.
A vacuum relief valve allows air into the system to relieve that negative pressure. In systems designed to drain down, this supports the movement of water out of the collectors and pipework. The correct valve and installation position are important, so follow your solar heating system’s installation requirements.
Premium materials for Australian conditions
The Boss Solar VacRel® is manufactured from German BASF Luran® S mouldings, rather than cheaper ABS substitutes. Its quality construction makes it a practical choice for solar pool heating installations exposed to demanding outdoor conditions.
Inside the valve, a nitrile rubber O-ring seal works alongside 316 stainless steel triple-pass filter mesh. These carefully selected components reflect the product’s focus on material quality and reliable operation.
