Series VB

Bifunctional air valves for filling and emptying pipelines

Air control in water pipelines through evacuation of large volumes during filling and air intake during emptying or under vacuum conditions.

Series VB

How a Series VB air valve works

Double-function air valves combine two essential functions for air control in pipelines: air expulsion during filling and air intake during emptying.

01
Series VB sequence 1

Evacuation of large amounts of air during filling

02
Series VB sequence 2

The valve will remain closed until a vacuum is detected in the pipeline

03
Series VB sequence 3

Admission of large amounts of air during emptying
