VALMATIC #48BW 2" SEWAGE AIR RELEASE VALVE WITH BACK WASH ACCESSORIES
Val-Matic® air release valves maintain your pipelines efficiency. Trapped pockets of air that accumulate in your pipeline will lower your flow rates and increase surges. An air release valve that automatically releases these pockets of air is an inexpensive and safe way to protect your line and improve its value. As the flow decreases in a pipeline, the pumps are forced to work harder and are less efficient; ultimately this could result in a total system blockage. Air release valves protect your line with minimal maintenance or management. Unconditionally guaranteed stainless steel floats housed in rugged cast bodies assure that your line is protected. The operation of an efficient line requires the use of an air release Valve. Tested to AWWA C512 requirements Maintains systems flow efficiency Releases unwanted air pockets during system operation Protects system against air related surges Automated sizing program Specifically designed for grit and sewage service without the need for backwashing when combined with fusion bonded epoxy slick coatings Bodies are extended in length with a sloped bottom to prevent solid material from reaching the operating mechanism Floats are equipped with a specially shaped bottom to accelerate the closure to reduce leakage and clogging of the valve Available in light weight all stainless steel construction to eliminate corrosion Unconditionally guaranteed T316 stainless steel floats Stainless steel 316 internal trim Resilient seating for positive shutoff Performance proven for over 40 years Non-clog design eliminates backwashing 2 in inlet x 1/2 in outlet NPT 3/16 in orifice Standard/Approvals: UL/cULus Listed, FM Approved
