PLAST-O-MATIC ARV050EPT-PV Air Release Valve, Threaded EPDM Seal, PVC, 1/2 Inch Size

Plast-O-Matic ARV050EPT-PV air release valve is used in pipelines for handling solid-laden fluids for continually releasing unwanted air. It is suitable for use in water distribution, irrigation and fire pump applications.

Features:

• Plast-O-Matic ARV050EPT-PV PVC air release valve features a special self-guided poppet that ensures minimal emission of system liquid before sealing.
• This air release valve permits the safe expulsion of unwanted air in piping systems.
• This true union simplifies valve inspection / removal with the lowest piping breakdown.
• It has top-quality thermoplastics and elastomers that withstand chemical attack and secure system purity.
• It offers a superior poppet design that seals more reliably than ball designs and does not bend under pressure like a hollow ball.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between air relief valves and air release valves?

A. An air release valve opens at atmospheric pressure and closes automatically when liquid is present. A relief valve won't release collected air at pressures below the set point.

Q. Where do you install PVC air-release valves?

A. Air release valves and air vacuum valves are typically installed at every 800 m on the long pipe to easily release and draw air into the system.

Q. When do we use a PVC air release valve?

A. In water or irrigation schemes, an air release valve ensures that any entrained air in the water system is automatically released to maximise system performance.
