Series VTD

Double-body combination air valves

Automatic air control in high-capacity and large-diameter pipelines, integrating evacuation of large volumes, automatic air release in service and air intake during emptying.

Series VTD

IRUA Series VTD consists of double-body combination air valves, designed for air control in high-capacity and large-diameter hydraulic pipelines. In water transport networks, main pipelines or large pumping mains, air management is a key factor to ensure the hydraulic stability of the system. Series VTD combines three essential air control functions and incorporates a double-chamber design that improves evacuation, admission and automatic release in demanding applications.

How a Series VTD air valve works

Series VTD combination air valves combine three air control functions and a double-body design that improves response capacity in large pipelines.
