Bermad IR-C30-P High Quality Combination Air Valve (PN16)

Bermad C30 is a high-quality combination air valve suited for a variety of water networks and operating conditions. It evacuates air during pipeline filling, allows the efficient release of air pockets from pressurised pipes, and enables large volume air intake in the event of network draining.  With its advanced aerodynamic design, this double orifice valve provides excellent protection against air accumulation and prevents vacuum formation, with improved sealing in low pressure.  Options available on 50mm valves are surge protection or inflow protection kits.

FEATURES

• Fully approved AS4956 / AS4020 / WSAA / MRWA rated to PN16
• Optional inflow protection (IP) , surge protection (SP) & Assisted closure (AC)
• Low pressure sealing on all PN16 valves to 10Kpa
• Extremely high air flow capacity for use on larger diameter pipelines
• Fitted with lower body plug for gauge, sensors or drain valves.
