Air Release Wastewater Valve
Brand: Val-Matic Valve & Mfg CorporationAir Release Valves, sometimes referred to as "small orifice valves," are often fitted at the highest point on a pipeline to continually release unwanted air during system operation to protect against unwanted surges and maintain system efficiency.
Wastewater Air Valves perform two important functions in a piping system:
- They maintain system design efficiency and provide system protection
- Exhausting and admitting air keeps the system from restricted flow reducing pumping costs and reduces the potential for destructive surges and water hammer that can collapse a pipeline
- Specifically designed for grit and sewage service without the need for backwashing when combined with fusion bonded epoxy slick coatings
- Bodies are extended in length with a sloped bottom to prevent solid material from reaching the operating mechanism
- Floats are equipped with a specially shaped bottom to accelerate the closure to reduce leakage and clogging of the valve
- Available in lightweight all stainless steel construction to eliminate corrosion
- Unconditionally guaranteed T316 stainless steel floats
- Stainless steel 316 internal trim
- Resilient seating for positive shutoff
- Performance proven for over 40 years
