As the level of the effluent within the wet sump rises, air is trapped in a pipe called a 'sensor pipe', the pressure of which increases as the effluent level continues to rise ... This increase in air pressure is subsequently transferred via flexible tubing to the top section of the interface valve which is known as the "controller." Eventually this pressure becomes great enough to operate a switch within the controller which then allows vacuum pressure to be transferred to the main body of the valve, causing it to open ... 2, record 1, English, - interface%20valve
