Plastic Combination Air Valve (DAV-P-B-PAV)
Spec Sheet: DNS Plastic Air Valve Product Catalogue
Plastic Combination Air Valve – DAV-P-B-PAV – Double Orifice
A high-quality glass-reinforced nylon combination air valve that evacuates air during pipeline filling, releases air pockets from pressurised pipes, and admits large volumes of air during network draining.
Description
Plastic Combination Air Valve (DAV-P-B-PAV)
The DNS DAV-P-B-PAV is a high-quality combination air valve for a variety of water networks and operating conditions. It evacuates air during pipeline filling, allows efficient release of air pockets from pressurised pipes, and enables large-volume air intake in the event of network draining. Its advanced aerodynamic design, double orifice and optional surge-protection device provide excellent protection against air accumulation and prevent vacuum formation, with improved sealing in low-pressure conditions.
Features:
• Straight-flow body with large-diameter automatic orifice for higher-than-usual flow rates.
• Aerodynamic full-body kinetic shield prevents premature closing without disturbing air intake or discharge.
• Dynamic sealing prevents leakage under low-pressure conditions (0.1 bar / 1.5 psi).
• Tappable boss on the base for pressure-gauge connection, check point or test drain.
• Threaded 2″ (DN50) side outlet for Surge Protection (SP) or Inflow Prevention (IP) devices.
• Compact, reliable structure with fully corrosion-resistant internal parts for lower maintenance and longer service life.
• Designed and tested to functional and water-service standards, including vacuum pressure conditions.
General Application:
Pipelines and water networks – protection against air accumulation and vacuum formation at elevations, slope-change points and road / river crossings, and near control valves and water meters to prevent inaccurate pressure regulation.
