Air Release valve

Why is it needed ?

The inclusion of Air Release Valves is critical for the safe movement of water through pipes.   When water moves through any pipework, air is released from suspension and this air will cause pockets in the pipework, thus, reducing the overall performance of the system.   Air is also released from suspension when water moves through fittings, the filters and, through the pump.   This released air must be expelled from pipework through an air release valve.

How does it work ?  

Presence of air / Absence of air (Vacuum point)  in pipework both can be dangerous as air can be compressed while water cannot.   Air in the pipes that becomes compressed can build up pressure and cause "water hammer" or may even cause the pipes to break and split.  An air release valve will remove all of the trapped air when the valve is installed at the high-points on the pipework.   

You should install an air release valve immediately after the pump, on top of the filters, at every high-point on the main pipes and at each field valve.

Jabee Air release valve is made of engineering plastic for durability, these safety valves help in avoiding possible damages to pipes and accessories. When the pipe is being filled with air, the air release valve remains open expelling all the surplus air outside and when the pipe is full of water, the air release valve closes tightly.

Durable, Weather Resistant and Non-corrosive. 

Application: Agricultural and landscape irrigation.
