The purpose of the AIR RELEASE VALVE
VA air release is to
eliminate any air • Connection system for solvent weld and threaded joints
• No metal parts in contact with the fluid
entering the pipe • Can be used as a vacuum breaker valve when installed with the nut at the
with the liquid. bottom
• Valve material compatibility (PVC-U) with water, drinking water and other
food substance conveyance according to current regulations
• Can be maintained with the valve body installed

Note: during assembly operations, it is
advisable to lubricate the rubber seals.
Mineral oils are not recommended for
this task as they react aggressively with
EPDM rubber.
INSTALLATION Fig. 1
The FIP air release valve must always be installed in a vertical position with the
union nut at the top, as shown in fig.1.
