The Combination Air Valve D-040 series offers the benefits of both an air release valve and an air & vacuum valve. Its air release feature enables the automatic release of small pockets of air that accumulate along a pipeline or piping system when it is full and under pressure. On the other hand, the air & vacuum component allows the automatic discharge or admission of large volumes of air during pipeline filling or draining.
Furthermore, this valve is designed to open and alleviate negative pressures that may arise when water column separation happens. Its dual functionality and efficient design make it an excellent choice for pipeline systems that require air release and vacuum relief capabilities.
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.
- Dynamic design allows for high velocity air discharge while preventing premature closure.
- Innovative rolling seal mechanism.
- Available in sizes: 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 50mm threaded male connections, BSPT.
Application Range
- Working pressure range: 0.2-16 bar.
- Maximum operating temperature: 60°C.
- Maximum intermittent temperature: 90° C.
- For installation:
- At pump stations
- Downstream and upstream of shut-off valves After deep-well pumps
- On long constant-sloped pipeline segments
- At peaks along the pipeline and at peaks relative to hydraulic gradient.
- Additional protective shell for anti-vandalism/theft applications.
