Want to know about air valves? Read this!

Three main types of air valve

• 1.Automatic air valves continuously release relatively small volumes of air from a pressurized line.
• 2.Air and vacuum valves discharge large volumes of air when filling a pipeline.
• 3.Combination air valves combine the function of automatic air vaThe function of air valves.

The function of air valves

• 1.Air valves are hydromechanical devices with an internal float mechanism designed to release trapped air and wastewater gases during filling and operation of a piping system.
• 2.They also ensure air intake during draining to maintain a positive pressure. lves and air and vacuum valves.
• 3.In addition,air valves provide protection from transient pressures and entrapped air in pipelines.

Use air valves correctly, you will achieve:

• 1.Reduced costs(for replacement/energy consumption and operation /)
• 2.Reduced pressure loss
• 3.Reduced corrosion
• 4.Reduced risk of contamination
• 5.Reduced risk of pipe burst and collapse
