Remote-Discharge Air-Release Valves for Water

Max. Pressure: See table
Temperature Range: 32° to 150° F

Unlike valves that release discharge directly, these have a threaded relief port to direct discharge away from your work environment. Often used to increase pump efficiency, they eliminate air pockets in your system to maintain consistent flow and prevent water surges that can damage equipment. All have a cast iron body to absorb vibration for reduced noise and wear in your pipeline.

Corrosion-Resistant Remote-Discharge
Air-Release Valves for Water

For excellent corrosion resistance in wet conditions and harsh environments, these valves have no metal parts. They eliminate air pockets to maintain consistent flow and prevent water surges that can damage equipment. All have a threaded relief port that can be attached to a drain line for remote discharge.

Corrosion-Resistant Air-Release
Valves for Water and Coolant

Max. Pressure: 90 psi
Temperature Range: See table

These valves are made of corrosion-resistant materials for use in wet conditions and harsh environments. They eliminate air pockets to maintain consistent flow and prevent water surges that can damage equipment. All have a vented relief port to exhaust discharge directly.

Valve with a Buna-N seal is for use in heating and cooling systems.

Valve with an EPDM seal is for use in cooling systems only.

Inline Air-Release Valves for Water

Max. Pressure: 125 psi
Temperature Range: 40° to 240° F

Eliminate air pockets without stopping flow—these valves have an internal wire brush that traps air bubbles and discharges them through the top relief port while allowing inline flow from the inlet to the outlet. They are often used to increase efficiency in heating and cooling systems. The vented relief port exhausts discharge directly. Valves have a durable bronze body for a long service life.
