Why Air Valves Matter
Air valves are critical to the performance of pressurized water systems. Without them, trapped air can lead to water hammer, flow interruptions, and even pipe damage. Air valves maintain pressure balance and ensure the system operates safely and efficiently.
Benefits of Poly Air Valves
Poly air valves offer lightweight durability and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for wastewater treatment plants and chemical applications. Their cost-effectiveness and resistance to harsh environments are major advantages for long-term operations.
Key Features:
Corrosion-resistant polymer body
Low maintenance requirements
Easy installation and handling
Advantages of Ductile Iron Air Valves
Ductile iron provides unmatched strength and structural integrity. These valves are commonly used in industrial, municipal, and high-pressure applications.
Key Features:
High pressure tolerance
Long service life
Suitable for underground or above-ground installation
