The 2-1/2 Inch (DN65) Valves with NPT threaded ports have a 1-1/4 inch main drain connection. The 2-1/2 Inch (DN65) Valves with
ISO threaded ports have a DN40 main drain connection.
The 4, 6, and 8 Inch (DN100. DN150, and DN200) Valves with NPT threaded ports have a 2 inch main drain connection. The 4, 6,
and 8 Inch (DN100. DN150, and DN200) Valves with ISO threaded ports have a DN50 inch main drain connection.

The approximate friction loss, based on the Hazen and Williams formula and expressed in equivalent length of pipe
with C=120, is as follows
14 feet of 2-1/2 inch Sch. 40 pipe for the 2-1/2 inch AV-1-300 Valve calculated on a typical flow rate of 250 GPM.
23 feet of 4 inch Sch. 40 pipe for the 4 inch AV-1-300 Valve calculated on a typical flow rate of 600 GPM.
24 feet of 6 inch Sch. 40 pipe for the 6 inch AV-1-300 Valve calculated on a typical flow rate of 1500 GPM.
23 feet of 8 inch Sch. 30 pipe for the 8 inch AV-1-300 Valve calculated on a typical flow rate of 2500 GPM.
