Ever notice a rubber attachment on your air cleaner? That's the Vacuator Valve, and it plays a bigger role in your equipment's performance than most operators realize.
In this episode of Filtration in the Field, Amy breaks down how the Vacuator Valve works with your 2-stage air filter housing to pre-clean incoming air using centrifugal force. Learn why the valve opens and closes based on engine vacuum pressure, what happens when it's damaged or missing, and why it deserves a spot on your regular maintenance checklist.
Keeping this valve in good condition helps prevent dirt bypass, extends air filter life, and keeps your heavy-duty equipment running at peak performance.
Because if it needs filtration, it needs Donaldson.
