Guardian Air Vents

Guardian Air Vents are made of corrosion-resistant UV protected composite materials. These large capacity vents dampen water hammer preventing pipes and fittings from cracking and bursting. Optional shrader valve is ideal for measuring local line pressure.

Why Guardian Air Vents

Corrosion-resistant reinforced UV protected composite materials – no metal parts to rust or corrode.
Ensures vent closure as water fills the system and ensures maximum protection of your irrigation system with proper sizing and placement
Optional Shrader Valve is ideal for measuring local line pressure.

Product Advantages

Ensures maximum protection of 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 ¾ 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.
