HDPE Air Release Valve
The HDPE Air Release Valve is a precision-engineered valve designed to automatically release trapped air from HDPE piping systems during operation, filling, or emptying. Made from high-density polyethylene (PE100 Grade), this valve provides excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight durability, and long-term reliability in water distribution, irrigation, and industrial fluid systems.
Air pockets within pipelines can cause flow obstruction, pressure surges, or water hammer — potentially damaging equipment and reducing system efficiency. The HDPE Air Release Valve ensures smooth fluid flow by discharging accumulated air and preventing vacuum formation during system drainage.
With its compact, maintenance-free design, this valve is suitable for potable water, wastewater, chemical processing, and irrigation networks. It is highly compatible with HDPE pipes through butt fusion, threaded, or flanged connections, making it a perfect fit for modern plastic piping infrastructure.
HDPE Air Release Valve
- High-Grade HDPE Construction: Resistant to rust, corrosion, and most chemicals.
- Automatic Air Discharge: Efficiently removes trapped air during pipeline operation.
- Vacuum Prevention: Prevents negative pressure during system draining or shutdown.
- Lightweight and Easy to Install: Ideal for HDPE and other thermoplastic piping systems.
- Leak-Proof Performance: Precision design ensures tight sealing under various pressures.
- Low Maintenance: Non-corrosive materials eliminate the need for frequent servicing.
- UV and Weather Resistant: Suitable for outdoor and underground installations.
- High Flow Efficiency: Maintains consistent pressure and flow rate within the system.
- Fusion or Flanged Options: Easy integration with existing HDPE networks.
- Compliant with International Standards: Manufactured to ISO and DIN quality norms.
