Inline Air-Release Valves for Water

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.

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.
