Philmac Air Release Valve Double Effect

PHILMAC AIR RELEASE VALVE

Philmac Air Release Valves allow air to escape from water transfer pipelines to maximise water flow. Connecting to male BSP threads, they are easy to install and offer excellent durability, reliability and strength.

Philmac air release valve offers solutions to the agricultural and irrigation industry by providing an economic and reliable solution for removing air from a pipeline. These valves play a vital role in the performance of a pipe system as they ensure air is dispelled from the system at start up and allow full flow of water through the pipe. This prevents air gaps which restrict flow of water, and protect against the formation of a vacuum during drainage which can collapse the pipe. A simple and effective design, with longevity of service, Philmac’s air release valve is designed for harsh outdoor conditions.

FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION

• Single-position Installation: The valves have been designed to work in a vertical position to maximise the discharge of air.
• BSP Inlet Threads: The Rural, Irrigation and Plumbing sectors use British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads as a standard. Philmac also uses these thread types across the valve range to ensure compatibility with other threaded fittings and make installation easy.
• Flow Identification: The body is clearly marked with an arrow to indicate the directional flow of the air.
• Outlet: The outlet is fitted with a protective cap which can be removed to access a 1“ BSP thread. This allows a pipe to be connected so that any water that escapes when purging air can be directed away from the valve.
