Designed for Lasting DurabilityWith a robust cast or ductile iron body and anti-corrosive epoxy coating, this air release valve is specifically crafted to withstand challenging environmental conditions and daily operational wear. The floating ball is made from high-strength, non-corrosive plastic, and the release lever is constructed from stainless steel, adding to its longevity and consistent performance.
Versatile Application RangeIdeal for use in water distribution pipelines, irrigation systems, and other water works, the valve offers reliable operation with non-corrosive fluids. Available in a range of sizes from 1/2 inch to 6 inch, and connection types including threaded and flanged, it caters to diverse installation and flow requirements, making it the preferred choice for engineers and system designers.
Unmatched Safety and ComplianceOur valve ensures bubble-tight sealing to eliminate leaks and meets rigorous international standards like IS:14845, BS:5163, and EN 1074. Operating at test pressures up to 1.5 times the rated pressure and at working temperatures between -10C and 80C, it guarantees safe, reliable functioning in medium-pressure systems.
FAQs of Air Release Valve:
Q: How does the air release valve function during pipeline operation?
A: The valve automatically releases trapped air from water pipelines during both operation and line filling, preventing air pockets that could disrupt flow or damage equipment. This action occurs without manual intervention, thanks to its float-activated mechanism.
Q: What are the key benefits of the anti-corrosive epoxy coating on the valve?
A: The anti-corrosive epoxy coating protects the cast iron or ductile iron body from rust and environmental degradation, significantly extending the operational lifespan and ensuring consistent performance even under harsh conditions.
Q: Where is this air release valve most commonly used?
A: This valve is primarily installed in water distribution pipelines, irrigation systems, and municipal water works, especially where preventing air accumulation is vital for system efficiency and integrity.
Q: What standard compliances does the valve meet?
A: The valve meets IS:14845, BS:5163, and EN 1074 standards, ensuring it adheres to international benchmarks for safety, reliability, and quality in water supply systems.
Q: When should the air release valve be installed in a pipeline?
A: It should be installed at high points or locations prone to air accumulation within the pipeline network, typically during the initial setup of the water supply system to ensure uninterrupted and efficient flow.
Q: How does the bubble-tight sealing benefit the system?
A: Bubble-tight sealing ensures zero leakage, further preventing water and air loss, boosting system pressure stability, and minimizing maintenance needs.
Q: What materials are used for critical components such as the seat and floating ball?
A: The seat is made from high-quality NBR/EPDM rubber to ensure flexibility and a tight seal. The floating ball, integral to the automatic release mechanism, is constructed from high-strength, non-corrosive plastic for reliable operation.
