Series P

Automatic air release valves for water networks

Automatic systems for the continuous removal of small air pockets accumulated during normal network operation.

Series P

IRUA Series P consists of automatic air release valves designed to discharge small air accumulations in pressurized pipelines during normal installation operation. In water supply networks, pumping mains and complex hydraulic systems, these air pockets can generate efficiency losses, vibrations or service irregularities. Series P allows this air to be removed continuously and automatically, promoting more stable hydraulic behaviour.

How a Series P air release valve works

01
Air release valve in closed position

Valve in closed position

The valve will remain in closed position until it detects air pockets to be released.

02
Air release valve expelling accumulated air

Expulsion of accumulated air

The valve will expel the accumulated air in a pipeline when it is pressurized and in service.
