Our air valves come in a wide range of designs, providing efficient gas exhausting and administering to pipelines for a variety of processes, including industrial, potable and wastewater applications. Robust construction materials, WRAS-approved options and configurable features make them a versatile and reliable solution to your air valve needs.
Air valves are designed to intake and release gasses (de-aerate) from pipelines during filling, emptying and regular operating to protect the system and its components from air pockets, vacuums and pressure surges.
Airlocks are caused when gas accumulates in pipeline high points and restrict or completely stop hydraulic flow. Single orifice air valves are installed at these high points to allow accumulated gases to escape and prevent an airlock from forming.
Single-orifice air valves are used in applications that require uninterrupted fluid flow or experience significant changes in pipeline elevation:
Single orifice air valves are installed at pipeline high points where gasses accumulate due to having a lower density than fluids.
These valves have a single opening controlled by a float that rises and falls with liquid levels. As more gas accumulates the liquid level lowers the float and the vale face opens, allowing the trapped gasses to escape.
T-T Flow recently supplied air valves to one of Europe's largest paper manufacturers to be installed in a new waste pumping station.
Due to the length of the overhead pipes, our experts also completed hydraulic analysis prior to installation to ensure optimal air valve positioning for efficient hydraulic flow.
Our experts specified and supplied essential air valves to a new mixed-use development spanning 850,000 sq ft, including 3,000 new homes, office space and amenities.
The 63-acre site needed reliable air valves to accommodate pressure fluctuations caused by variable flow rates.
