Air Release Valve

Purpose: Used in municipal and industrial water distribution systems to release air that accumulates in pipelines.

Reason: Air trapped in pipelines can create pressure fluctuations, reduce flow efficiency, and lead to water hammer, which can damage pipes and fittings.

Benefit: The air release valve helps maintain a continuous flow of water, minimizes pressure surges, and enhances the overall reliability and efficiency of the water distribution system.

Purpose: Installed in agricultural and landscape irrigation systems to eliminate air pockets that can interfere with water distribution.

Reason: Air trapped in irrigation lines can prevent proper water flow to crops or plants, leading to uneven watering and potential crop damage.

Benefit: The air release valve ensures that irrigation systems operate effectively by promoting uniform water distribution, improving crop health, and maximizing irrigation efficiency.

• Purpose: Used in sewage and wastewater systems to prevent air buildup in pipes and lift stations.
• Reason: Trapped air can lead to pressure build-up, causing system inefficiencies and increasing the risk of overflows or equipment damage.
• Benefit: The air release valve enhances the efficiency of sewage and wastewater systems by allowing for proper flow and pressure management, reducing the risk of blockages and backups.
