Single Chamber Triple Function Air Release Valve (SS Float) PN10 | PN16

The KV7710 Single Chamber Triple Function Air Release Valve is designed for automatic air management in pressurized water pipeline systems. Its compact and robust construction provides reliable air release and intake during different pipeline operating conditions.

The valve combines three essential air management functions: air release during normal operation, large-volume air intake during pipeline draining and air discharge during pipeline filling.

Product Overview

The Single Chamber Triple Function Air Release Valve is an automatic float-operated valve developed for water pipeline applications. The valve helps manage accumulated air and supports stable hydraulic performance during pipeline filling, draining and normal operation.

The SS Float construction provides a durable internal component, while the compact single-chamber design allows the valve to be integrated into a wide range of pipeline systems.

Key Features

Triple Function Operation

Provides automatic air release during operation, air intake during pipeline draining and air discharge during filling.

Stainless Steel Float

Stainless steel float construction provides durability and corrosion resistance for water pipeline applications.

Compact Construction

Single chamber construction provides a compact, simple and robust solution for automatic pipeline air management.

Corrosion-Resistant Parts

Corrosion-resistant internal components support reliable long-term operation in suitable water services.

EPDM Sealing

EPDM sealing provides reliable closure and supports dependable valve performance.

Maintenance-Friendly Design

The robust design is intended for reliable operation with reduced routine maintenance requirements.

Three Functions of KV7710 Air Release Valve

1. Air Release

Releases accumulated air from the pipeline during normal operation while the pipeline remains under pressure.

2. Air Intake

Allows air to enter the pipeline during draining and helps reduce the risk of vacuum conditions.

3. Air Discharge

Allows large quantities of air to escape during pipeline filling before the system reaches normal operating conditions.

How Does a Triple Function Air Release Valve Work?

During pipeline filling, the valve allows accumulated air to escape from the pipeline. This helps remove large quantities of air before the pipeline reaches its normal operating condition.

During normal operation under pressure, the valve automatically releases smaller quantities of accumulated air from the pipeline.

During pipeline draining, the float mechanism allows air to enter the pipeline. This helps reduce the possibility of vacuum formation inside the pipeline.

Installation Guidelines

Triple Function Air Release Valves are generally installed at pipeline high points and locations where air accumulation can occur. They may also be installed at suitable points where air intake is required during pipeline draining.

Proper valve sizing and installation should consider pipeline diameter, operating pressure, filling and draining rates and the required air-release capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Triple Function Air Release Valve?
