Air & Vacuum Air Vents
Guardian Air Vents proven design provides more air release capacity than other vents of similar size. Commonly used to break vacuum caused by sytem draining.
Product Advantages
- Ensures maximum protection of the irrigation system with proper sizing and placement.
- Ensures vent closure as water fills the system, remains open when air pressure reaches the following:
- 5 psi for 3/4" and 1" Guardian
- 10 psi for 2" Guardian
- 8 psi for 3" Guardian
- Large capacity vents dampen water hammer preventing pipes and fittings from cracking or bursting.
- Made of corrosion-resistant reinforced UV protected composite materials - no metal parts to rust or corrode, no need for spare parts.
- Guardian Air Vent with Shrader Valve is ideal for measuring local line pressure.
Applications
- Commonly used downstream of valves, primarily at manifolds, to break vacuum caused by system draining.
- On sloping terrain to prevent collapsing of pipes caused by vacuum when pipe networks drain.
- Upstream of valves for air discharge during system start-up.
