CLA-VAL 3410-AR116.400 Air Valve
In pipelines without air valves, air can accumulate unnoticed, gradually reducing flow capacity and increasing power consumption.
These effects may not be apparent initially but can eventually result in severe flow restriction or complete blockage due to air binding.
The CLA-VAL 3410-AR116.400 Air Valve is designed to automatically vent entrained air that accumulates at high points in pipelines or pump casings.
During system operation, the valve continuously releases small volumes of air, preventing the formation of large air pockets.
Key features:
. Ductile Iron body & cover
. Stainless Steel trim & float
. Pressure rating 400 psi
. Three inlet connection sizes
. Automatic & continuous air vent
. Drip tight seal at low pressure
. Serviceable without rempoval from pipeline
. Designed & manufactured according to UL/FM requirements
Excessive air accumulation can also lead to unexplained pipeline ruptures. Such failures are often attributed to ground settlement or defective pipe; however, large air pockets significantly amplify normal pressure surges that occur during system start-up and shutdown, increasing the likelihood of rupture.
Make sure to protect your pipelines using CLA-VAL 3410-AR116.400 Air Valve!
