Bermad IR-K10-P Kinetic Air Valve/Vacuum Breakers (PN10)

The Bermad IR-K10-P is a high-performance kinetic air valve and vacuum breaker designed to provide critical air management and vacuum protection in irrigation and water supply networks. During pipeline filling, it allows large volumes of air to be evacuated; during drainage or sudden pressure drops, it enables high-volume air intake to prevent vacuum-induced damage such as pipe collapse or emitter suction.

Engineered with an advanced aerodynamic kinetic orifice and precision float design, the K10 delivers reliable sealing even at extremely low pressures. Its rugged, corrosion-resistant polyamide construction ensures long-term durability in agricultural, landscape, and infield systems.

Available in multiple BSP threaded sizes and with an optional pressure checkpoint, the IR-K10-P offers simple installation and consistent performance across a wide range of irrigation applications.
