Combination air valve for water meter protection. Bermad c70 sp is a high quality combination air valve approved to as4956 and appraised by wsaa for a variety of water networks and operating conditions. Nr 010 wafer style check valve. The safe and efficient operation of a liquid piping system is dependent on the continual removal of air and wastewater gases from the liquid piping system. Air valves are hydromechanical devices designed to automatically release air and wastewater gases or admit air during the filling draining or operation of liquid piping systems for water and wastewater services.
Last year valve magazine published why air valves are needed in water applications which outlined the sources and effects of air in pipelines. Air valves are installed on a pipeline to exhaust air and admit air to prevent vacuum conditions and air related surges. This air can cause inefficiencies and serious operating problems.

Liquid piping systems are prone to collecting air from incoming fluids pumps and connections. Combination water meters combination water meters comprises of a bulk woltmann insert and a low flow volumetric insert or meter flow is diverted between them by a by pass valve that is set at a predetermined flow rate. This article explains how the various types of air valves operate in liquid piping. It evacuates air during pipeline filling allows efficient release of air pockets from pressurized pipes with a surge protection device minimising potential water hammer and enable large.
Wa 03 50mm 2 air and vacuum valve enclosure locations 11 03 2006. Cla val air release valves for water systems and combination air release and vacuum breaker valves protect your piping system by automatically eliminating air pockets and preventing vacuum formations from building up in the pipeline during filling or draining operations. Potable water and recycled water facilities. This allows the combination meter to have a very large measurement range.
