ARV Air Release Valves - Stainless Steel
ARV Air Release Valves are versatile solutions designed for waste water, fresh water, and sewage systems. These valves integrate kinetic and automatic air release functionalities within a single, durable body.
During pipeline filling, they efficiently expel trapped air through a large orifice, ensuring optimal system operation. In normal conditions, a small orifice allows gradual release of accumulated air while maintaining a stable air gap to prevent water ingress. Engineered to accommodate varying pressure conditions, ARV Air Release Valves provide reliable performance by regulating air flow, making them essential for maintaining pipeline efficiency and longevity.
Our Stainless Steel Air Valve Range
- High-Grade 316 Stainless Steel Construction: Built with 316/316L bodies and internal components to prevent chemical pitting, soil corrosion, and material degradation in severe service applications.
- Triple-Action Functionality: Models like the ARV-3 combine kinetic air release, automatic continuous venting, and vacuum breaking in a single valve body.
- Sewer & Wastewater Air Valves: Features an innovative design that maintains a constant air gap between the fluid medium and sealing mechanism, preventing clogging from solids, slurries, and organic waste.
- Versatile Sizing & Pressure Ratings: Rated to PN16 working pressures with flanged and threaded inlet configurations ranging from 20mm up to 150mm.
