Val-Matic air release valves are designed for use in pipelines, handling solid-laden fluids, for continually releasing unwanted air and feature 316 stainless steel internal components for withstanding exposure to hydrogen sulfide & aggressive fluids. These units come equipped with a hexagonal stem in round bushing guided floats for preventing the accumulation of debris and a non-clog design for minimising the need for backwashing. Choose from a wide variety of these NSF 61 & 372 certified valves, available in 150 & 175 psi maximum pressures on Raptor Supplies.
An air release valve opens at atmospheric pressure and closes automatically when liquid is present. A relief valve won't release collected air at pressures below the set point.
Air release valves and air vacuum valves are typically installed at every 800 m on the long pipe to easily release and draw air into the system.
In water or irrigation schemes, an air release valve is typically used to ensure that any entrained air in the water system is automatically released to maximise system performance.
