By Netafim, these air vents protect your valuable irrigation system. Commonly used downstream of valves, primarily at manifolds, to break vacuum
caused by system draining.
These air vents work well on sloping terrain to prevent collapsing of pipes caused by vacuum when pipe networks drain. Using them upstream of valves for air discharge during system start-up is another advantage.
AIR VENTS PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
- Ensures maximum protection of irrigation system with proper sizing and placement.
- Aerodynamic float design ensures vent closure as water fills the system, remains open when air pressure reaches 12 psi.
- Large capacity vents dampen water hammer preventing pipes and fittings from cracking or bursting.
- Unique rolling seal feature allows gradual opening, closing and self-cleaning.
- Made of corrosion-resistant reinforced UV protected nylon – no metal parts to rust or corrode, no need for spare parts.
Product Advantage for 1″ Guardian Air Vent
- Ensures maximum protection of the irrigation system with proper sizing and placement.
- Ensures vent closure as water fills the system, remains open when air pressure reaches the following:
- 5 psi for 1 Guardian
- Made of corrosion-resistant reinforced UV protected composite materials no metal parts to rust or corrode, no need for spare parts.
APPLICATIONS 2 COMBINATION AIR/VACUUM AND CONTINUOUS ACTING AIR VENTS
- For discharge and intake of large volumes of air at pump and filter stations, along mains and at the end of mainlines.
- For continuous air release at high points in pipe network or upstream of manifolds.
– Every 1,500 feet along mainlines.
