Air Valves: Efficient Air Release & Protection for Piping Systems

1. Product Overview

1.1 Basic Definition

Air valves are specialized flow control devices installed in piping systems to release trapped air, vacuum, or non-condensable gases. They prevent air pockets from blocking fluid flow, reducing pressure loss and protecting pipelines from corrosion, water hammer, and damage. Composed of valve body, float, air release mechanism, and sealing components, they ensure smooth and efficient operation of water, wastewater, and industrial fluid systems.

2. Core Product Features

2.1 Structural Advantages

Compact and robust structure, with corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel, brass, cast iron) to adapt to various fluid environments. The precision float and air release mechanism ensure reliable performance, while the simple design allows easy installation and low maintenance. Suitable for both horizontal and vertical piping installations.

2.2 Functional Features

Automatic air release and vacuum protection, eliminating air pockets and preventing pipeline collapse due to vacuum. Efficient gas separation, ensuring unobstructed fluid flow and reducing energy consumption. Good sealing performance to prevent fluid leakage when not in use, and high adaptability to different pressure and temperature conditions.

3. Main Product Types

3.1 By Function

3.1.1 Automatic Air Release Valves

Designed to release small volumes of trapped air continuously during system operation. Suitable for water supply, wastewater, and HVAC pipelines, ensuring consistent flow and pressure.

3.1.2 Manual Air Valves

Operated manually to release large volumes of air during system commissioning or maintenance. Ideal for industrial pipelines, water tanks, and irrigation systems where periodic air release is required.
