Uses

Air Release During Filling

• Releases trapped air when a pipe is being filled, preventing air pockets that hinder water flow.

Air Admission During Draining

• When pipelines are being emptied (e.g., for maintenance), the valve admits air to prevent vacuum and pipe collapse.

Continuous Air Release

• During operation, small amounts of air can accumulate at high points in pipelines. This valve ensures continuous release without interrupting the system.

Protection Against Water Hammer

• By allowing air in during sudden shutdowns, it cushions the pressure surge, protecting the pipes and fittings.

Maintaining Irrigation Efficiency

• Ensures full-bore flow, improving uniform distribution of water to crops or landscape.
