5.2. Diaphragm/Drain Valve Assembly
How it Works
The diaphragm assembly is also known as the drain valve. When a cycle is commenced, the rubber
diaphragm will inflate via air distributed from the pneumatics assembly. Once inflated, all of the
macerator’s contents will be help until the end of the cycle. Once completed the valve is quickly
deflated sending the processed waste directly to the drain through the P-Trap.
