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.
