Polished Brass Air Vent Valve, Specialities : Non Breakable, Casting Approved

Key Points

• Function:The primary function of an air vent valve is to automatically release trapped air or gas from a plumbing system. This prevents air pockets from blocking the flow of water and causing issues such as reduced efficiency, noisy pipes, and airlocks.
• Design:Air vent valves are designed to open and release air when air accumulates in the system, and to close when water reaches the valve. This ensures that only air is released while preventing water from escaping.
• Applications:Air vent valves are commonly used in various plumbing systems, including water supply lines, heating systems, cooling systems, and irrigation systems.
• Types:There are different types of air vent valves, including automatic float-type valves, manual air release valves, and combination valves that serve both air venting and pressure regulation functions.
• Benefits:Air vent valves help prevent issues such as pipe noises (gurgling or banging), reduced water flow, and water hammer (pressure surges caused by trapped air). They contribute to the efficient and quiet operation of plumbing systems.
