1/2" Brass Gas Valve Air Vent Valve Air Release Valve

This safety valve is designed for natural gas lines. It’s a must-have for any home or business using natural gas, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. If there is a gas leak, the valve will be close by manual, preventing further leakage.

what is a air release valve?

An air release valve, also known as an air vent valve, is a type of valve used in liquid piping systems to automatically release air or gas pockets that may accumulate within the system. Its primary function is to eliminate trapped air or gas, ensuring the efficient and smooth operation of the system. Air release valves are commonly found in water distribution systems, pipelines, and various industrial applications where the presence of air can hinder the flow or performance of the system.

When the liquid flows through the system, any trapped air or gas tends to rise and accumulate at high points or air pockets. The air release valve is designed to automatically open when air or gas is present, allowing it to escape and preventing potential issues such as air locks, reduced flow capacity, or system inefficiencies. Once the air is released, the valve closes to prevent the loss of liquid or the entry of more air.

Air release valves play a crucial role in maintaining the overall efficiency and integrity of liquid systems, preventing potential damage, and ensuring a continuous and stable flow of the liquid through the system.
