Velocity Introduces Expulsion Valve

The new Velocity Expulsion Valve works in combination with Velocity's standard mounting plate and is hidden in the distal end of the socket. The use of a dummy during lamination creates a void in the distal end of the socket which accepts the Velocity valve. The valve has a large duckbill for quick air expulsion and easy cleaning. Unique to the Velocity valve is the ability to replace the rubber duckbill without the need to purchase a new valve housing.

Advantages include:

1. Large duckbill for quick air expulsion.
2. Creates a seal directly against the lamination.
3. Inexpensive replaceable duckbill.
4. Inserts into Velocity 4 bolt mounting plates.
5. Available in kits or individual parts.
