VAG Spring-Loaded Air Valve

A spring-activated, resilient-seated air valve built to handle high-volume air discharge—crucial during pipeline drainage, fast shutdowns, or burst events. It integrates a VAG DUOJET® Automatic Air Valve (for operational air release) and features a friction damper for soft disk closure, offering robust protection for dams, long-distance pipelines, bottom outlets, and downstream of large butterfly valves.

DN (Size Range):

DN 300–800

Pressure Nominal (PN):

PN 10 / 16 / 25

Face-to-Face Length:

Full-flange configuration per EN 1092-2 standard

Sealing System:

Resilient-seated with integrated DUOJET® triple-function features (large, medium, small orifice)

Friction Damper:

Softens closing, curbing pressure surges

Flow Functions:

Large orifice: Rapid air venting
Medium orifice: Air release during filling
Small orifice: Continuous air release during normal operation

Minimum Operating Pressure:

0.3 bar

Inspection/Service Integration:

Includes built-in shut-off valve (VAG CEREX® 300 Butterfly Valve) for safe maintenance

Optimally used in water distribution, treatment systems, dams, and long-distance mains—especially downstream of large valves where rapid venting and surge protection are critical.

– Standard Spring-Loaded Air Valve
– Anti-Surge Version (engineered to further reduce pressure pulses upon closing)
– Custom Sizes (DN 300–800) available upon request

– Body & Bonnet: Welded steel S235JRG2
– Inner Parts & Stem: Stainless Steel 1.4301
– DUOJET® Body: Ductile Iron EN-GJS-400-15 (GGG-40)
– Bolts: Stainless Steel A4

Factory-applied epoxy coating (inside and out) in line with GSK standards provides long-term corrosion resistance.

Designed for clean water and general potable water service. The DUOJET® is commonly used for air release in standard pipeline fluids; consult manufacturer for compatibility with aggressive media.

– Triple-Orifice Functionality: Handles varying flow conditions (startup, shutdown, operation) efficiently
– Integrated DUOJET®: Supports automatic in-operation air release
– Pressure Surge Mitigation: Friction damper softens closing impact
– Safe Maintenance: Integrated inspection valve allows servicing without total shutdown
– Versatile Sizing: DN 300–800 range supports large-scale installations

– Anti-Surge Variant for sensitive systems
– Custom DN Sizes beyond standard range available on request
– Maintenance Kits compatible with DUOJET® and inspection systems
