Prevents Suck-Back and Air Pockets in Dripline Irrigation Systems
The Netafim Line Air Valve (Grey) is a 15mm male BSP air/vacuum relief valve designed for use in dripline irrigation systems without anti-siphon (AS) protection. It automatically vents trapped air during system startup and allows air to re-enter the system on shutdown to prevent vacuum conditions and "suck-back" of debris into the emitters.
FEATURES
- Protects Dripperline Integrity: Prevents vacuum collapse and contamination by allowing air into the system during shutdown.
- Improves Start-Up Efficiency: Eliminates trapped air and speeds up emitter activation when the system turns on.
- Simple and Reliable: Automatically responds to system pressure changes without user intervention.
INSTALLATION
- Install at the highest point of the drip system.
- Position on a perpendicular manifold or connecting lateral to ensure effectiveness across all drip rows.
- Use one valve per 40 L/min of zone flow for optimal protection.
- Not suitable for low pressure systems – requires minimum 70 kPa (7m head) to operate correctly.
APPLICATIONS
- Agricultural and landscape drip irrigation zones
- Systems using standard non-AS dripperline
- Areas prone to vacuum draw or air blockages
