Vent-Tech Model SSG
Shorter, Lighter, and Enhanced for Performance
The Vent-Tech Model SSG Sewer Valve delivers high-performance air and vacuum relief in a shorter, lighter configuration. Built as a compact alternative to the SWG, the SSG offers improved flow performance, enhanced self-cleaning capabilities, and reduced overall weight—making it ideal for installations with limited vertical clearance or structural load restrictions.
Engineered with the same reliability and wear resistance as the SWG, the SSG is optimized for efficient air handling and long-term durability in demanding wastewater environments. When space or weight is a concern, the SSG provides the performance you expect—without compromise.
- Self-flushing design for improved cleanliness and reduced maintenance
- Improved air flow for seamless pipeline operations
- Low pressure sealing operates effectively at 1 PSI minimum
- Low maintenance construction with durable stainless steel
- Maximized pipeline capacity for efficient system performance
- Enhanced wear resistance for demanding sewer applications
- Pipeline protection prevents collapse and ensures column separation
- Surge protection safeguards against water hammer and pressure spikes
- Best-in-class engineering trusted by top civil engineering firms

Vent-Tech Valve Series Configurations



SERIES-C Combination Air Valves
Note to Engineer
Series C Valves are similar to Combination Air Release Valves (CARV’s) combining an Air/Vacuum Valve with an Air Release Valve. Vent-Tech series C valves provide the additional functionality of Surge Control with the inclusion of an Anti-Surge device. When the Anti-Surge device is activated, it causes the main orifice to close and forces the exhausting air through much smaller orifices which will choke the flow resulting in a pressure independent, constant ACFM volume change inside the pipeline, thus controlling water-hammer velocities.
Shall be four (4) function valves designed to:
- Exhaust large quantities of air at start-up during the filling of a pipeline system.
- Prevent the development of hydraulic transients (surge control) during start-up and pressure surges and shall operate automatically.
- Release accumulated air in a pipeline system while the system is operational and under pressure.
- Open and admit large quantities of air into the pipeline system during draining or if negative pipeline pressure occurs.



SERIES-B Biased Combination Air Valves
Note to Engineer
Series B Valves are similar to Vent-Tech Series C Valves. Vent-Tech Series B valves are configured so that the Anti-Surge device is mechanically pre-activated. Series B Valves—CARVs fitted with a bias mechanism—are normally located:
- As the first valve after a pump and prior to the check valve.
- Immediately downstream of an inline check valve.
- Immediately following any in-line isolation valves.
- Pipeline designers should consider the use of bias valves in flat terrain e.g., if the upstream or downstream gradient approximates 1%.
Shall be four (4) function valves designed to:
- Exhaust controlled quantities of air at start-up during the filling of a pipeline system.
- Prevent the development of hydraulic transients (surge control) during start-up and pressure surges and shall operate automatically.
- Release accumulated air in a pipeline system while the system is operational and under pressure.
- Open and admit large quantities of air into the pipeline system during draining or if negative pipeline pressure occurs.


SERIES-V Vacuum-Restrictive Air Valves:
Note to Engineer
Series V Valves are similar to traditional Air Release Valve’s (ARV’s). Vent-Tech Series V valves are configured to either restrict or eliminate air re-entry into the pipeline.
Shall be four (4) function valves designed to:
- Exhaust large quantities of air at start-up during the filling of a pipeline system.
- Prevent the development of hydraulic transients (surge control) during start-up and pressure surges and shall operate automatically.
- Release accumulated air in a pipeline system while the system is operational and under pressure.
- Restrict the admittance of air back into the pipeline.



SERIES-N Vacuum Relief Valves:
Note to Engineer
Series N Valves are similar to traditional Vacuum Relief Valve’s (VRV’s). Vent-Tech series V are configured to provide maximum vacuum relief when the pipeline experience negative pressure conditions.
Shall be single (1) function valves designed to:
- Open and admit large quantities of air into the pipeline system during draining or if negative pipeline pressure occurs.



SERIES-A Deep Well Air Valves:
Note to Engineer
Series A Valves are similar to Vent-Tech Series B Valves. Like Series B Valves, they are configured so that the Anti-Surge device is mechanically pre-activated. Unlike Series B valves, Series A valves are designed to eliminate the release of accumulated air in a pipeline system while the system is operational and under pressure. Series A valves are most commonly supplied as smaller water valves for use in vertical turbine pump and deep well installations.
Shall be three (3) function valves designed to:
- Exhaust controlled quantities of air at start-up during the filling of a pipeline system.
- Prevent the development of hydraulic transients (surge control) during start-up and pressure surges and shall operate automatically.
- Open and admit large quantities of air into the pipeline system during draining or if negative pipeline pressure occurs.
