Select your challenge

Water Hammer
Minimize pressure surges during rapid demand changes.
Even Distribution of Resources to Distributed Customers
Prevent over-delivery to ensure consistent system performance.
Automating Response to Critical Events (Pipe Bursts)
Prevent excessive flow caused by a pipe rupture.
Large Elevation Differentials
Backflow
Prevent backflow.
Air Cavities and Airlocks
Trapped air or pressurized air pockets can obstruct flow, reduce system efficiency, and increase energy consumption.
Energy and Hydraulic Efficiency
Trapped air or pressurized air pockets can obstruct flow, reduce system efficiency, and increase energy consumption.
Pipe Collapse on Pipe Drainage or Burst
Protecting the pipeline from hazardous negative pressure that may occur during uncontrolled drainage or bursts.
Water Contamination Risk
Water Contamination by Submerged Air Valve

Our Solutions

Kinetic Air Valve
Kinetic Air & Vacuum Air Valves serve both to vent air from a filling pipeline, and also act as a vacuum breaker by allowing air intake into a draining pipeline, optimizing pipeline hydraulic efficiency and flow.

Vacuum Breaker Air Valve
A normally-closed, spring-loaded, full-bore Vacuum Breaker Valve is designed to seal drip-tight and to open fully at minimal differential pressure. This protects the pipeline by allowing intake of air into the pipeline or system when vacuum conditions occur.

Combination Air Valve
Combination Air Valves improve pipeline efficiency and hydraulic performance by enabling high-capacity air release and intake, reducing energy use. The FG Flood Guard Attachment prevents contamination by sealing at zero pressure, blocking floodwater from entering the air valve while maintaining its flow rates.
