Air Release Valve

For fire-protection work, the EMACO Air Release Valve is a threaded brass vent valve that releases trapped air from water-filled fire-protection piping to reduce air-related operating and maintenance problems.

Engineering overview

The EMACO Air Release Valve performs one defined job: it serves as a high-point piping valve used to discharge accumulated air from water systems. Trapped air can interfere with filling, drainage, corrosion control and reliable hydraulic behavior. The EMACO air vent includes a manual vent mechanism operated with a screwdriver or coin and a threaded brass body. Install upright at accessible high points with isolation where permitted so inspection or replacement can be completed without draining the entire network. Select quantity and location from system high points, pipe geometry, filling method and the design or authority requirement. The order should identify the offered model, applicable approval, materials, rated pressure or capacity, connection arrangement and accessories. Field installation and acceptance testing follow the design documents and selected product data.

Technical Q&A

Begin with the required flow, pressure, connection and service conditions. Select quantity and location from system high points, pipe geometry, filling method and the design or authority requirement.
The system arrangement controls this. Install upright at accessible high points with isolation where permitted so inspection or replacement can be completed without draining the entire network.
Confirm the technical schedule before placing the order. Confirm size, thread, 16 bar rating, temperature limit, vent method, material, discharge routing and suitability for the fire-water service.
