Specification: Automatic Air Release and Vacuum Valve, stainless steel

(Model # 986 )

Combination Air Valves shall conform to the following:

Automatic Air and Vacuum Valves shall be infinitely
variable automatic air and vacuum valves designed to
allow escape of air for a operating range starting from
pressure range: 0,0 through 250 psi ( 0 – 17,2 bar ), close
watertight when liquid enters the valve even when the fluid
is rising without pressure ( no minimum operating pressure
required), allow air to enter in the event of a vacuum, and
soft working behavior as water hammer inhibition realized
by roll-on diaphragm and spring mechanism. When the
sealing device of the valve is closed an air cushion is
trapped between the fluid and sealing area, a mud
deflector made of PE allows no contact between fluid and
sealing area. The valve body and spindle spring shall be
stainless steel, grade 316Ti, designed to facilitate
disassembly for cleaning and maintenance. The float shall
be Delrin ( POM ); the valve seat and all working parts
shall be of corrosion-resistant materials. Valves shall be
equipped with the necessary attachments, including ball
valve and cam-lock fitting to permit back flushing after
installation without dismantling the valve. Valves shall be
recommended by the manufacturer for wastewater
service.
Air and vacuum valves shall be manufactured by Hawle.
