A.R.I. D-050 Combination Air Release Valves

Description

The D-050 Combination Air Valve has the features of both an air release valve and an air & vacuum valve. The air release component is designed to automatically release small pockets of air to the atmosphere as they accumulate along a pipeline or piping system when it is full and operating under pressure. The air & vacuum component is designed to automatically discharge or admit large volumes of air during the filling or draining of a pipeline or piping system. This valve will open to relieve negative pressures whenever water column separation occurs.

Product Features

• Combines the features of both an air & vacuum valve and an air release valve.
• Triple function:
  • Air & vacuum component discharges large volumes of air during filling of the system.
  • Air & vacuum component admits large volumes of air during drainage and at water column separation.
  • The air release component releases entrapped air in pressurized systems.
