A single air valve releases trapped air from water pipelines.
Fit at high points.
What is a single air valve?
These valves isolate, protect and vent water and process lines. Ball valves shut off with a quarter turn, check valves stop backflow, air valves and air eliminators remove trapped air, and modulating valves adjust flow automatically.
Ratings and ends must match the line. Therefore, confirm size, pressure rating and connection before ordering.
