Features

  • The SKAR sewage combination air release valve is designed for pressurised sewage rising mains and force mains
  • The robust ball float mechanism resists clogging from sewage constituents including rags, greases and suspended solids
  • Provides large-orifice kinetic venting on filling and continuous small-orifice air release under operating pressure
  • Advanced design with simple mechanism, strong float to prevent cracking during sudden water hammer and quick closure
  • Aerokinetic mechanism resists blow-shut under high air velocity, even up to sonic velocity of air
  • Special fat body design lowers sewage water flow speed, letting air out while keeping sewage water underneath
  • Keeps dirty or corrosive liquid inside the body for safety during operation, with no harm to people or the surrounding environment
  • Internal body guide and upper round wall keep the float moving on its rail and contain liquid turbulence within that area
  • Much bigger air flow through the nozzle, even for higher-viscosity liquid
  • Optional outside screen guards against insects or birds entering
  • Fully fusion epoxy coated inside and outside for long-term service
  • Manufactured to BS EN 1074-4 and AWWA C512; flange drilling and dimensions to BS EN 1092 and ANSI flange

Description

The SKAR sewage combination air release valve is designed for pressurised sewage rising mains and force mains. The robust ball float mechanism resists clogging from sewage constituents including rags, greases and suspended solids. Provides large-orifice kinetic venting on filling and continuous small-orifice air release under operating pressure.

Selection notes

This air release valve is supplied for flanged installation.

Sizes run DN50 to DN300, in PN10, PN16, PN25.

The body is EN-GJS-500-7.

Seat and trim options are NBR. The seat, not the body, usually sets the temperature and medium limit, so confirm it against the service before ordering.

It is catalogued for Water & Wastewater.

Working temperature is -10°C to 80°C.

Built to BS EN 1074-4, AWWA C512 and BS EN 1092.
