Abstract
In a valve space surrounded by a housing is arranged a sleeve-shaped valve body made of elastomeric material. The valve body is fastened with a fastening end thereof to the housing, and a flow channel thereof is flow-connected to an inlet orifice. The valve body bears, with a middle portion of the valve body spanning a ventilation orifice, on a ventilation-valve seat formed on the housing. There adjoins the middle portion a bead which the end portion, bearing under prestressing on the valve-seat element, adjoins on the other hand. With water flowing in the direction of flow and also with an equal pressure prevailing on the inlet side and outlet side, the valve body bearing on the ventilation-valve seat prevents the outflow of water through the ventilation orifice. With a negative pressure prevailing on the feed side, the middle portion lifts off from the ventilation-valve seat, in order to ventilate the outlet orifice.
