A Professional Air Flow Laboratory
The A.R.I. air flow laboratory is unique (the only one of its kind in the region) and is designed for testing air valves. The air flow lab was designed and
operates according to the ISO 17025 global standard and was adapted to meet the ISO 9001 quality standard and the ISO 14001 environmental
standard. Bench test assessments are carried out according to worldwide testing standards as well as the European standard EN 1074. The initial
calibration for the air flow lab was based on results from the CESAME (France) High Pressure Test Bench used for flow calibration and testing.
This lab calibrates large diameter gas meters based on the principle of the ORIFICE PLATE.
The A.R.I. air flow laboratory performs assessments of air flow rates during intake and discharge, air flow tests for air valve premature closure as well
as a vacuum bench test which tests the flow rate for air intake into air valves when the pipeline is under negative pressure.
These tests are carried out and calculated in accordance with international standards for moisture and temperature variables.
The air flow laboratory tests all types of air valves (air release, air & vacuum, combination, non-slam, one-way etc.) that operate on water and
wastewater systems and are in the diameter range of 1/2 to 12.
The air flow laboratory employs 4 air storage tanks, each one with a volume capacity of 10 cubic meters, plus an additional 10 cubic meter air tank
that is employed as the working tank.
The air is stored at 13 bar of pressure and enables testing of air valves up to 12 in diameter and, with an additional compressor, enables automatic
air valves to be tested at a pressure of 16 bars.
EnC-IMAGE-11 5
The air flow laboratory is computerized; therefore, once the characteristics of the tested air valves are entered in the computer and the air valve is
connected to the test bench, the test is run. At its conclusion, the test reports are immediately available on the computer without further processing.
The air flow lab is open to invited guests and trainees, who are able to view the testing and receive the results in real time, either viewed on a large
screen or printed as a hard copy.
A Professional Coatings Factory
In early 2010, A.R.I. opened up a new coatings factory for the fusion bonded coating process of all A.R.I. products. The equipment was purchased
specifically for the A.R.I. Coatings Factory. The technology and software components were specifically designed for the A.R.I. product line.

INTRODUCTION
Innovative Valves for Liquid Transmission Applications
A.R.I. Flow Control Accessories is among the world leaders in the development, manufacture and distribution of liquid transmission accessories.
A.R.I. engineers have developed a wide range of sophisticated valves made from various types of metals and composite materials. The valves are
designed for a variety of applications. Our engineers are working constantly to broaden the range of products, improve and enhance existing product
lines and develop new product lines. We incorporate the highest standards of quality control in compliance with Israeli and international standards.
Most of the A.R.I. products are protected by registered patents. A.R.I. operations, development and marketing systems comply with the requirements
of the international ISO 9001 and ISO 14000 standards and are certified as such.
The A.R.I. Commitment
A.R.I. is committed to respond to the needs of a changing market. To do so, we strive for a high standard of quality, innovation and advanced
technological development as our principal objective.
At A.R.I., we focus on providing products with longevity and minimal maintenance. We offer a comprehensive warranty, excellent service, consulting
and training for each customer at the plant, in the field or at any installation site, as necessary.
Air Valves
The A.R.I. line of automatic air release valves and the automatic air release components of A.R.I. combination air valves are based on the rolling seal
technology. The A.R.I. patented sealing mechanism replaces traditional configurations that incorporate a ball float closing against a round orifice.
While the system is under pressure the A.R.I. rolling seal mechanism, with its aerodynamically-designed float, releases air in large quantities, often
greater than in traditional valves. They also provide for the soft dynamic closure of the valve. This concept of a rolling seal mechanism enabled A.R.I.
to develop small, lightweight, cost effective air valves.
The self-cleaning feature of the rolling seal mechanism greatly reduces the possibility of clogging, leaking and the adhesion of suspended particles to
the rolling seal surface.
The valve body and interior components are made of corrosion-resistant materials. This ensures years of corrosion-free and maintenance-free
operation, even under extreme environmental conditions.
The A.R.I. line of products also includes a wide variety of air & vacuum and combination air valves. They are made of the same quality materials as
the automatic air release valves and provide the same level of quality and assurances.
These valves are offered in dimensions of 1/2 to 1 (automatic air release valves) and 1" to 12"(air & vacuum and combination air valves). They
provide solutions for various applications in all industrial fields. These products are lightweight, have a compact profile and are offered at competitive
prices.
Air in Liquid Transmission System
The quantity of free air must be controlled in liquid transmission systems. The presence of air/gas bubbles and pockets can be beneficial or
detrimental to the transmission system under different conditions. The absence of air, such as exist under vacuum conditions, prevents suitable
protection for the transmission systems.
Damage caused by the presence of air in the system
EnC-intrWTR/SWG-11 7
1. Air blockage in the line causes unstable flow of the liquid and, in extreme circumstances, a total stoppage of flow.
2. High head losses, resulting in large energy losses.
3 The impact of surge, as a result of the presence of air in the system, can cause damage to pipes, accessories and connectors.
4. Erroneous readings of water meters and automatic metering valves.
5. Extensive damage to impeller systems in water meters, flow regulators, sprinklers and sprayers.
6. Pitting and increased corrosion in metal components of the systems.
7. Safety risks to operators increase due to the possibility of high energy bursts in locations where there are concentrations of compressed air.
Damage caused by the absence of air in the system
Vacuum enhanced problems and damages:

- Suction of mud and dirt through faulty connections, cracks in pipes and accessories, etc.
- Suction of seals and gaskets, inline fittings, and other internal accessories of pipes.
- Uncontrolled suction of injected chemicals into the system.
- Pipe or accessory collapse.
- In some cases, the absence of an air cushion can increase the damages of surge and slam phenomena.
INTRODUCTION
Using A.R.I Air Valves to Control Air and Prevent Damage
There are three principal types of air valves used in liquid transmission applications:
Air & Vacuum Valves
Automatic Air Release Valves
Combination (double orifice) Air Valves
Air & Vacuum Valves automatically discharge air at high flow rates during filling of the system and admit air at high flow rates during draining, at
water column separation, and in cases of down-surge in the system.
Air & vacuum valves are known also as: large orifice air valves, vacuum breakers, low-pressure air valves and air vacuum valves.
Automatic Air Release Valves release air entrapped in the system while under pressure. The air release flow rates of the automatic air release valves
are lower than those of the air & vacuum valves. They are also known as: air release valves and small orifice air valves.
Combination Air Valves include both air & vacuum and automatic air release components in one unit. They perform both functions:
- They discharge air at high flow rates during filling of the system and admit air at high flow rates at drainage or water column separation, AND
- They release entrapped air while the system is under pressure.
Combination air valves are also known as double orifice air valves.
Installation and Location
It is highly recommended that a basic review be made before selecting the appropriate air valves and determining their sizes and locations:
- The chemical composition of the liquid that passes through them.
- The possibility of extreme pressure changes such as up-surges and down-surges.
- Analysis using ARIavCAD software for efficient design of the system (software available from A.R.I).
Typical installation locations:
- In pump stations.
- At locations where pressure drops.
- At peaks along the line.
- At locations of large convex slope changes
- Along line segments without air valves.
- Near isolating valves on the line.
- On filter setups.
- Before flow meters and automatic devices.
- At line ends.
INTRODUCTION
Recommendations for the Determination of the Required Diameter of Air &
Vacuum and Combination Air Valves
To determine the diameter of air valve required, the first essential step is to define the task that the air valve must perform and the level of protection
that the valve must provide.
The principle tasks of an air valve are:
1 - The controlled or free discharge of air during the line filling stage:
A. Controlled discharge The air valve diameter is determined in order to limit flow / filling speed.
B. Free discharge The air valve is used to discharge air during line filling, but is not used to limit flow / filling speed.
2- Intake of air to prevent negative pressure (vacuum), down-surge and/or cavitation:
A. When the line is drained through drainage valves with a defined location and size.
B. When the line bursts at predefined or not defined points along its length; it's bursting up to a pre-determined size of burst in the pipe and the free
drainage of water out of the line through the burst.
C. When there is water column separation consequential to extreme changes in the regimen of water flow through the pipe.
The required air flow rate and the air valve diameter are determined in accordance with the objective sought when installing the air valve
and as explained below:
- If the purpose of the air valve is only to limit filling speed the required air release speed is equal to the filling rate (for the system), which is a
function of the required filling rate.
- If the purpose of the air valve is to protect the system in the event of an burst, which splits the pipe across its entire cross section, with
consequential free flowing drainage of the line, the accepted method is to determine the required rate of air intake according to a burst analysis
based on one of the flow equations, such as the Hazen Williams equation:
Burst Analysis
The burst analysis is based on the Hazen Williams Equation:
Q B =KC H W D 2 . 63 ( h f / L a c t ) 0 .5 4 a nd L a c t = ( h f 2 +L hp 2 ) 0 .5
Where, in our case:
Q B = Air intake flow rate requirement for vacuum protection at full diameter pipe burst m /sec
K = Unit constant = 0.278 for metric units
C H W = Hazen Williams Coefficient for the pipen- no units
D = Diameter of pipe m
h f = Elevation change between the two ends of the pipe segment being analyzed m
L a c t = Actual length of the pipe segment (not its horizontal projection)- m
L h p = Length of the horizontal projection of the pipe segment - m
3
EnC-intrWTR/SWG-11 9
Given that the results of this analysis are often extreme, the common practice is to supply air at a percentage of the calculated results.
A.R.I. does not recommend using the Burst Equation.
- If the purpose of the air valve is to protect the system during drainage through a defined drainage valve or at pipe rupture, it is recommended to
use the drainage and rupture analysis based on the orifice equation.
INTRODUCTION
Drainage and Rupture Analyses
Air intake flow rate requirement at drainage through a drain valve or a rupture is:
1. Q d = C d ( D d 2 / 4 ) ( 2 g h) 0 .5
For drains or ruptures whose equivalent diameters are greater than 30% of the pipe diameter:
2. Q d = MC d ( D d 2 / 4 ) ( 2 g h ) 0 .5 a nd M = {1/ [1-(D d / D p ) 4 ]}0.5

Where:
Qd
Cd
Dd
g
h
M
Dp
= Air intake flow rate requirement m2/sec

= Orifice coefficient 0.6 is a common default value
= Drain valve or rupture equivalent diameter - m
= Gravitational acceleration 9.81 m/sec2
= Elevation difference between the air valve and the drain valve or rupture m
= Correction factor
= Diameter of the pipe m
Here, the initial Qd was calculated with no losses. After the initial calculation of Qd , we calculate the Hazen Williams friction head loss, hf due to
this initial Qd:
3. h f = Q d 1. 852 L a ct / ( K 1 .8 5 2 C d 1 .8 5 2 D d 4 .8 7 ) and
L ac t = ( h 1 2 + L h p1 2 ) 0 .5 + ( h 2 2 + L h p2 2 ) 0.5 + (h n 2 +L hp n 2 ) 0.5
Where:
hf
K
L ac t
h 1 , h 2 , h n
L h p 1 , L h p 2 , L hpn
= Hazen Williams friction head loss due to the initial Qd - m

= unit constant = 0.278 for metric units
= Actual total pipe length between the air valve and the drain or rupture m
= Elevation change of each of the pipe segments between the air valve and the drain or rupture - m
= Length of the horizontal projection of each of the pipe segments between the air valve and the drain or rupture - m
Now, we calculate the new h by subtracting hf from the initial h:
4. N e w h = h - h f
Use this New h in either equation 1 or equation 2 above (depending on the size of the drain valve or rupture, relative to the pipe diameter),
and calculate the final Q .
d
Given that the air valve diameter required must be calculated separately for each separate air point in the system, the scope of the calculation work
required is very considerable.
To solve this problem, A.R.I. has developed a unique program ARIavCAD. The ARIavCAD program determines the diameter and the location
for each air valve and selects from the range of valves manufactured by A.R.I., the most appropriate air valve for installation at each point. Use of
the ARIavCAD program is highly recommended. For further details, please contact the A.R.I. Service Department.
INTRODUCTION
Check Valves
One-way or check valves are liquid direction devices that allow one-directional flow in the pipeline.
Check valves have various uses such as:
- Controlling directions of flow of liquid in systems in which there are different sources of supply.
- Preventing reverse flow into pumps when pump operation stops.
- Maintaining down-stream pipe pressure in case of a pressure drop at the supply source.
- Preventing drainage from high to low areas.
There are various types of check valves:
- Swing-type check valves, check valves with top covers, check valves with a tilting disc, dual-leaf check valves, wafer type check valves, spring-loaded
check valves, etc.
All one-directional valves are built from a basic combination of a body (straight or angular) connected to piping and to a one-way sealing mechanism.
The valves are distinguished from one another by the structure of the body and the various sealing mechanisms.
The purpose of the various types of check valves is to provide solutions and adaptations for various applications.
The R&D, engineering and manufacturing divisions of A.R.I. worked together to develop a basket of check valves for a variety of applications. They
meet the needs of designers, installers, users and maintenance personnel.
A.R.I. check valves are adapted for industry, wastewater, desalination, hot water, contaminated water, seawater, agricultural and gardening
applications, potable water, water treatment systems, municipal lines and oil installations on offshore platforms.
Top-cover type check valves are designed to contend with aggressive

environments and solids-laden liquid:
1. The body and cover are cast from a variety of corrosion-resistant materials which cover a wide range of chemicals.
2. The body has a barrel-shaped structure that allows unrestricted flow.
3. A sealing mechanism incorporates a disc that opens fully even under low flow rates and swings up and out of the flow path (full flow). These two
properties:
- enable for the flow of solids-laden liquids without blockage or stagnation, AND
- ensure particularly low head losses (in the range of only a few centimeters), resulting in large energy savings.
4. The top cover provides access for inspection and maintenance without the need for dismantling the valve from the pipeline.
5. The sealing seat assembly is accessible for replacement without dismantling the valve from the line.
6. The internal configuration inhibits cavitation.
7. The shaft that hinges the disc extends from the body of the valve. It serves for mounting counter weights which regulate the closing time of the
disc, and greatly reduce the effects of slam and surge.
8. The enhanced bearing assembly is unique and the shaft sealing is reliable and long-lasting.
9. The hinged arm is connected to the disc by two pins that prevent premature wear of the sealing assembly.
10. A variety of structural materials are used in the sealing mechanism, the disc, and the sealing seat.
11. Interior and exterior coatings are resistant to corrosion, chemicals and to UV.
Typical installation locations:
- In pumping stations for raw wastewater.

- In pumping stations for untreated water.
- In desalination installations.
- In chemical process piping systems to regulate the direction of flow.
- Dividing the pressure between the two ends of long pipe segments in which there are large differences in elevation between the ends.

Combination Air Valve for High Pressure

Description
The D-014, D-015, D-016, D-100 series Combination Air Valve

has the features of both an air release valve and an air & vacuum
valve.
The air release component is designed to automatically release small
pockets of air to the atmosphere as they accumulate along a pipeline
or piping system when it is full and operating under pressure.
The air & vacuum component is designed to automatically
discharge or admit large volumes of air during the filling or draining
of a pipeline or piping system. This valve will open to relieve
negative pressures whenever water column separation occurs.

Applications
Municipal and industrial high pressure water conveyance systems.
Operation
EnC-D016WTR-11 17
The air & vacuum component, with the large orifice, discharges
air at high flow rates during the filling of the system and admits air
into the system at high flow rates during its drainage and at water
column separation.
High velocity air will not blow the float shut. Water will lift the
float which seals the valve.
At any time during system operation, should internal pressure of the
system fall below atmospheric pressure, air will enter the system.
The smooth discharge of air reduces pressure surges and other
destructive phenomena.
The intake of air in response to negative pressure protects the system
from destructive vacuum conditions and prevents damage caused
by water column separation. Air entry is essential to efficiently drain
the system.
The air release component releases entrapped air in pressurized
systems.
Without air valves, pockets of accumulated air may cause the
following hydraulic disturbances:
- Restriction of effective flow due to a throttling effect as would a
partially closed valve. In extreme cases this will cause complete flow
stoppage.
- Obstruction of efficient hydraulic transmission due to air flow
disturbances.
- Accelerate cavitation damages.
- Pressure transients and surges.
- Corrosion in pipes, fittings and accessories.
- Danger of a high-energy burst of compressed air.
- Inaccuracies in flow metering.
As the system starts to fill, the valve functions according to the
following stages:
1. Entrapped air in the pipeline is discharged by the valve.
2. Liquid enters the valve, lifting the float which pushes the sealing
mechanism to its sealing position.

3. Entrapped air, which accumulates at peaks and along the system,
rises to the top of the valve, which in turn displaces the liquid in the
valves body.
4. The float descends, unsealing the rolling seal. The air release
orifice opens and the accumulated air is released.
5. Liquid enters the valve and the float rises, pushing the rolling seal
back to its sealing position.
When internal pressure falls below atmospheric pressure
(negative pressure):
1. The floats will immediately drop down, opening the air &
vacuum and air release orifices.
2. Air will enter the system.

What is a low pressure air valve?
The low pressure air valve sealing mechanism is built with a very
soft and sensitive seal. On one hand, it enables the full and effective
discharge of air and, on the other hand, the air valve will close and
seal tightly when water fills the valve, even if the water pressure is
particularly low. Most other air valves are built so that it takes a
higher minimum sealing pressure to effectively seal the valve. The
A.R.I. air valve requires a minimum water pressure of just 0.2 bar to
effectively seal. Low pressure air valves are designed to prevent water
leaks through the discharge orifice of the air valve.
Description
The D-040 LP series Combination Air Valve has the features of

both an air release valve and an air & vacuum valve.
Applications
The D-040 LP is designed for installation on:

1. Outlets from storage ponds and reservoirs.
2. Topographic high points where water pressures are lower than 2
meters.
3. Points on a pipeline of variable pressures, where pressures can
drop below 2 meters.
4. Topographical points on a pipeline that are close to the hydraulic
grade line pressure.
5. The top of water tanks

Combination Air Valve for Water Meter Protection Metair

Description
The M-040 Combination Air Valve combines an air & vacuum

orifice with an automatic air release orifice in one single body.
The combination air valve discharges air during the filling of the
system and admits air during drainage and pump shutoff while
releasing accumulated air from the system while the system is
operating under pressure.
The M-040 Combination Air Valve is designed to prevent problems
caused by discontinuous or erratic water supply:
- Erroneous water metering.
- Damage to the spinning components of the water meter.
- Vibrations and water hammer in the pipeline and water meter.
Applications
- On a pressurized piping system, installed before the water meter.
Operation
EnC-M040WTR-11 33
OVERVIEW: The M-040 combination air valve is normally closed.

When water supply is erratic and air builds up in the system, the
M-040 prevents the air from passing through the water meter by
releasing this accumulated air from the pipeline to the atmosphere.
As water returns, it buoys the float, sealing the outlet to the
atmosphere, opening the check valve and allowing the water to pass
through water meter.

with no interference to the water flow in the pipeline.
- Drainage System: Optional drainage outlet or screen outlet.
- The large orifice, with its self-cleaning mechanism, dramatically
reduces obstruction due to debris.

Underground Air Valve System for Potable Water

Description
The D-060 SB is a complete product package that combines the

reliable and efficient properties of the A.R.I. D-060 Combination
Air Valve with the added feature of a sub-surface valve that can
be buried below ground. A specially designed gear box operated
horizontal sliding disc valve - situated at the base of the D-060 SB
assembly - allows for the air valve disconnection and maintenance
from ground level.
This gear box operated shut-off valve is equipped with a safety
mechanism enabling disconnection and removal of the D-060 air
valve from its subsurface housing, even when the system is under
pressure. Since service and maintenance operations of the unit are
performed entirely from the surface, there is no need for safety
considerations associated with confined space entry.
The D-060 Combination Air Valve has the features of both an air
release valve and an air & vacuum valve.

The smooth discharge of air prevents pressure surges and other
from a destructive downsurge (vacuum conditions) and prevents
damage caused by water column separation. Air entry is essential to
efficiently drain the system.
systems.

stoppage.
disturbances.
The air valve functions according to the following stages:
1. As water fills the system, air in the pipeline is discharged by the
air valve.
2. Liquid enters the air valve, lifting the floats which push the
sealing mechanisms to their sealing position.
3. Entrapped air that accumulates along the system rises to the top
of the air release valve, which in turn displaces the liquid in the
valves body.
5. Liquid enters the air release valve and the float rises, pushing the
rolling seal back to its sealing position.
Main Features

Combination Air Valve for High Flow - Non Slam

Description
The D-060 NS series Combination Air Valve has the features of both
an air release valve and an air & vacuum valve.
The air & vacuum component is designed to automatically discharge
or admit large volumes of air during the filling or draining of a
pipeline or piping system. This valve will open to relieve negative
pressures whenever water column separation occurs.
Applications
- Water pipelines with anticipated conditions of surge and water

hammer.
- On the peaks of water pipelines with steep slopes.
- Water pipelines where water column separation occurs.
D-060-C - additional applications
D-062 NS and D-065 NS - additional applications
- Water systems with pressure demands of 25 bar and 40 bar
(D-062 NS and D-065 NS respectively).
Operation
EnC-D060NSWTR-11 71
The D-060 HF NS series Combination Non Slam Air Valve is a

surge-dampening, slam-preventing, 3-stage combination air valve.
The air valve provides high capacity vacuum protection and, at the
same time, efficient surge suppression. At sudden drainage and/or
water column separation (sudden pump trips or valve closure, for
instance), the air & vacuum orifice admits air at high flow rates,
thus preventing vacuum. As the water column and/or pressure wave
returns, large volumes of air are discharged at high velocities, raising
the non-slam disc, partially closing the air & vacuum orifice and
allowing air to exhaust slowly through the smaller orifice of the nonslam disc. This slowly exhausting air pocket dampens the slam of the
returning water column, thus suppressing the pressure surge. As the
water flow arrives at a much slower rate, dampened by the slower
air discharge, it buoys up the main float, gently closing the air &
vacuum component of the air valve.
The S-050-C, S-052, S-015 air release component continues
releasing air while the pipeline and the air valve are pressurized.

Non-Slam Disc
The built- in throttling device on the Non-Slam disc of the D-060

HF NS Combination Air Valves will allow for the graduated opening
and closing of the disc orifice.
Advantages:
1. The orifice size of the disc can be adjusted to control and throttle
the discharge of air during pipeline filling and during the return of
the water column after separation.
2. The controlled discharge of air will reduce surge effects and
provide for a silent closure of the air valve.
3. The closure of the orifice can be determined by running a surge
analysis or by a decision taken in the field.
4. The orifice throttling device allows for a wide range of options
from 100% open, partially open, partially closed to 100% closed.

Operation in Rapid Filling of the Pipeline:
1. When water, rapidly filling the pipe line, pushes the air out
through the Air Valve, a differential air pressure is created across
the valve orifice.
2. When this differential pressure reaches a prefixed level (usually it

will be prefixed at 0.02 - 0.03 bar) the orifice disc will close.
3. Air will continue to come out through the small orifice disc - until
all the air will be exhausted and water will reach the kinetic float.
This double stage kinetic air discharge prevents the slam effect and
therefore suppresses water hammer.
4. When water reaches the kinetic float, it lifts it up, closing the
kinetic orifice and completing the kinetic cycle.
5. The vented Check Valve Orifice Disc will come back to its
normal open position.
6. When water is drained out of the pipe line, the resulting pressure
drop lets the kinetic float fall down, opening the orifice fully for
intake of high volume of air into the line.

Underground Air Valve System for Potable Water

Description
The D-060NS SB is a complete product package that combines

the reliable and efficient properties of the A.R.I. D-060 NS
Combination Air Valve with the added feature of a sub-surface valve
that can be buried below ground. A specially designed gear box
operated horizontal sliding disc valve - situated at the base of the
D-060 NS SB assembly - allows for the air valve disconnection and
maintenance from ground level.
mechanism enabling disconnection and removal of the
D-060NS air valve from its subsurface housing, even when the
system is under pressure. Since service and maintenance operations
of the unit are performed entirely from the surface, there is no need
for safety considerations associated with confined space entry.
The D-060 NS series Combination Non Slam Air Valve is a surgedampening, slam-preventing, 3-stage combination air valve. The air
valve provides high capacity vacuum protection and, at the same
time, efficient surge suppression.
The non slam component is designed to throttle air discharge
through the smaller orifice of the non-slam disc to prevent surge.
Applications
3. This slowly exhausting air pocket dampens the slam of the

returning water column, thus suppressing the pressure surge.
4. As the water flow arrives at a much slower rate, dampened by the
slower air discharge, it buoys up the main float, gently closing the
air & vacuum component of the air valve.
5. The S-050 / S-050-C / S-052 air release component continues

Main Features
D-060 NS SB Underground Air Valve System for

Potable Water:
- The D-060 NS SB incorporates an integral, flat, gear box operated

horizontal sliding disc valve with a 2, 3 full bore passage.
EnC-D060NSSBSWG-11 85
- The quick connector between the adaptor and the shut-off valve
facilitates detachment during handling.
Operation
- The integrated assembly handle eases the process of lifting the air
valve assembly out from the valve box.
The D-060 NS series Combination Non Slam Air Valve is a surgedampening, slam-preventing, 3-stage combination air valve. The air
valve provides high capacity vacuum protection and, at the same
time, efficient surge suppression.
1. At sudden drainage and/or water column separation (sudden
pump trips or valve closure, for instance), the air & vacuum orifice
admits air at high flow rates, thus preventing vacuum.
2. As the water column and/or pressure wave returns, large volumes
of air are discharged at high velocities, raising the non-slam disc,
partially closing the air & vacuum orifice and allowing air to exhaust
slowly through the smaller orifice of the non-slam disc.

- Safety elements: Disengaging the air valve is safeguarded: unless
the shut-off valve is in the closed position and the internal
pressure is released, it is not possible to extract the air valve.

Dynamic Combination Air Valve PATENTED

Description
The D-070 Dynamic Combination Air Valve is a unique valve,

operating without a float and utilizing the rolling diaphragm
principle. This unique structure allows the dynamic air valve to
discharge air from the water system in a controlled and gradual
manner, thus preventing slam and local up-surges. When vacuum
(down-surge) occurs, the valve reacts quickly to admit large volumes
of air into the water system, thus impeding down-surges and,
consequently, all pressure surges in the line. The air & vacuum
component of the dynamic air valve is normally closed when the
line is not operating, thus preventing the infiltration of debris and
insects into the water system.
sealing assembly to rise up into its open position, opening the

lower chamber large orifice and allowing the intake of air from the
atmosphere into the system.
Main Features
- Pumping stations, deep wells and distribution lines.

- Systems that are prone to slam and local and system surges.
- Sites that require a combination of means to reduce water hammer
or surges.
- Sites that require an air valve with a low profile due to lack of
space.

- Internal components are corrosion-resistant.
- Prevents slam and reduces water surges in the air valve and the
pipeline.
- Prevents the intrusion of debris and contaminants into the system.
- Valve is lightweight and small for easy installation; its operation
simple and reliable.
- Built-in connection at the outlet for surplus water drainage.
- Smooth and gradual closing unaffected by water flow.
- Extremely quiet closing.
- Automatic air release component releases large quantities of air
without becoming obstructed.
Operation
Valve Selection
Applications
EnC-D070WTR-11 89
When the system is charged and the pipeline begins to fill with
water, air flows in the pipeline and enters into the dynamic air valve,
raising the rolling diaphragm sealing assembly to the open position.
Air is then discharged, mainly out through the lower chamber large
orifice as well as small amounts of air released out through upper
chamber operating valve orifice. When the ensuing water enters the
dynamic air valve, it fills the lower chamber and some of it flows
up through the orifice chamber and enters into the upper operating
chamber, raising the float of the operating valve which rolls the
sealing mechanism to its sealed position. Pressure develops inside
the upper operating chamber, bringing about a controlled lowering
and sealing of the rolling diaphragm sealing assembly, which, in
turn, closes the lower chamber large orifice.
NOTE: It is recommended to attach a drainage pipe to the
connection on the large orifice outlet as some water will be expelled
from the orifice during this closure stage. The size of the drainage
pipe should be, at a minimum, the diameter of the outlet and the
unattached end should remain open to the atmosphere.
At this stage, only the automatic air release component continues
to function and releases air through its small orifice. With a
reduction in line pressure, during drainage or shut-off, the pressure
in the valve is reduced and is lower then the outside atmospheric
pressure. The vacuum created will cause the rolling diaphragm

Non-Slam Disc
The built- in throttling device on the Non-Slam disc of the D-060 HF

NS Combination Air Valves will allow for the graduated opening and
closing of the disc orifice.
Advantages:
1. The orifice size of the disc can be adjusted to control and throttle
the discharge of air during pipeline filling and during the return of the
water column after separation.
2. The controlled discharge of air will reduce surge effects and provide
for a silent closure of the air valve.
3 .The closure of the orifice can be determined by running a surge
analysis or by a decision taken in the field.
4. The orifice throttling device allows for a wide range of options from
100% open, partially open, partially closed to 100% closed.

Operation in Rapid Filling of the Pipeline:
1. When water, rapidly filling the pipe line, pushes the air out
through the Air Valve, a differential air pressure is created across
the valve orifice.
2. When this differential pressure reaches a prefixed level (usually it

will be prefixed at 0.02 - 0.03 bar) the orifice disc will close.
3. Air will continue to come out through the small orifice disc - until
all the air will be exhausted and water will reach the kinetic float.
This double stage kinetic air discharge prevents the slam effect and
therefore suppresses water hammer.
4. When water reaches the kinetic float, it lifts it up, closing the
kinetic orifice and completing the kinetic cycle.
5. The vented Check Valve Orifice Disc will come back to its
normal open position.
6. When water is drained out of the pipe line, the resulting pressure
drop lets the kinetic float fall down, opening the orifice fully for
intake of high volume of air into the line.

Automatic Air Release Valve for High-Pressure Systems

Description
The S-014, S-015, S-016 series automatic air release valve releases
accumulated air from the system while it is under pressure.
The presence of air in a water system can reduce the effective
cross sectional flow area resulting in increased head loss and
flow. Unwanted air may also cause water hammer and metering
inaccuracies, while hastening corrosion.
Applications
- On high-pressure pumps.
- On high-pressure delivery pipelines.
Operation
EnC-S016WTR-11 115
The automatic air release valve releases entrapped air from

Pockets of accumulated air may cause the following destructive
phenomena:
- Impediment of effective flow and hydraulic conductivity of the
system along with a throttling effect as would a partially closed
valve. In extreme cases this will cause complete flow stoppage.
- High- pressure surges.
- Accelerate corrosion.
The valve functions while the system is under pressure,
according to the following stages:
valves body.
2. The float descends, unsealing the rolling seal. The automatic air
release orifice opens and the accumulated air is released.
Note: Automatic air release valves are designed to release air as
it accumulates in pressurized systems. They are not normally
recommended for vacuum protection or for discharging large
volumes of air, because of their inherently small orifices. For this
purpose, air & vacuum valves are recommended as they have much
larger orifices.
However, air release valves will permit air to enter the system under
vacuum conditions. If this is not desirable, specify the one-way out
check valve.
Main Features
- Working pressure range: S-014: 0.2 - 40 bar

S-015: 0.2 - 25 bar / 0.2 - 40 bar

S-016: 0.2 - 64 bar
- Test pressure for the air valve is 1.5 times its working pressure.
-All operating parts are made of specially selected corrosion-resistant
materials.
- A.R.I. patented rolling seal mechanism:
One size orifice for a wide pressure range up to 64 bar.
Self-cleaning mechanism.
Valve Selection
- S-014 (40 bar), S-015 (25 / 40 bar), S-016 (64 bar) are available in

- The larger than usual orifice enables it to release air at higher flow
rates than other automatic air release valves of its kind.
- The enlarged orifice is less exposed to obstruction by debris.
- The valves rolling seal mechanism design is less sensitive to
different pressures than a direct float seal, thus enabling a one size
orifice for a wide pressure range (from 0.2 up to 25 bar).
- Lightweight, simple and reliable structure.
- A discharge outlet enables removal of excess fluids.

- S-052 vandalism protected by a metal shell covering the air release
component, pressure rated for 25 bar.
- SG-10 For low pressures (0.2-10 bar)
- S-050 LP For low pressures (0.05-6 bar)
- S-050 B With a brass base (0.2-16 bar)
- S-050 V, S-050-C-V Vacuum check valve - Available as a
valve that will only release air from the system and will not admit
air to the system when negative pressure conditions occur. This
characteristic is obtained by adding a check valve to the air outlet.

Automatic Air Release Valve for Low Pressure

What is a low pressure air valve?
The low pressure air valve sealing mechanism is built with a very
soft and sensitive seal. On one hand, it enables the full and effective
discharge of air and, on the other hand, the air valve will close and
seal tightly when water fills the valve, even if the water pressure is
particularly low. Most other air valves are built so that it takes a
higher minimum sealing pressure to effectively seal the valve. The
ARI air valve requires a minimum water pressure of just 0.2 bar
(3psi) to effectively seal. Low pressure air valves are designed to
prevent water leaks through the discharge orifice of the valv
Description
The S-050 LP series Automatic Air Release Valve releases

accumulated air from the system while it is under pressure. The
presence of air in a water system can reduce the effective cross
sectional flow area resulting in increased head loss and deceased

Description
The NR-040 series Swing-Type Check Valve allows for onedirectional flow and prevents the return flow of the liquid to its
source.
The check valve is designed with a removable top cover which allows
for cleaning and maintenance of the check valve without the need to
remove it from the pipeline.
The disc is attached to the check valve body with the aid of an arm.
The check valve seals with the closure of the disc against the sealing
ring which is located at the opening of the check valve body.
Applications
- Pump stations for potable water and wastewater

- Filtration systems
- Service line connections to the main line
Operation
- Liquid flow through the check valve raises the disc to its open
position and allows for the flow of liquids to the pipeline.
- Two Possible Situations for Disc Closure
1. Regular quiet closure of the disc.
2. Closure during the return flow of the water column, a situation
that can cause slam of the disc and damage to the check valve.
- In order to prevent this destructive phenomenon, it is
recommended to install a counterweight on the shaft of the check
valve. With this addition, the disc will close at the point of water
flow cessation and before the water column returns. The returning
wave will impact on a closed disc and the acceleration of the disc
closure will result in a minimal slam effect.
- Another option is to install a hydraulic piston to control the
closure of the disc.
Main Features

- Surge-resistant cast iron body.
- Bronze or ductile iron disc with natural rubber flap seal, seals at
low pressures and eliminates wear and tear of the flap.
- Corrosion-resistant inner parts ensure long term service under
adverse conditions.
- Fusion-bonded epoxy coating according to standard
DIN 30677-2.
- Removable top cover allows for easy cleaning, maintenance, and
seat replacement and eliminates the need to remove the valve from
the system.
- Can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position
(vertically, only when the flow rate is in an upward direction and a
counterweight is installed).
- Stainless steel extended shaft on both sides of the valve body.

PN 16
Hydraulically Controlled Check Valve

Full Hydraulic Transient Control
Description
The A.R.I. Hydraulically Controlled Check Valve (HCCV) is a

multipurpose damping device for pump discharge control. The valve
functions as a one-directional Flow Control Valve, a Non-Return
Valve and an internal Surge Anticipation Valve, all in one unit.
The hydraulically controlled check valve consists of two major parts:
1. A single shaft check valve.
2. A hydraulic control system.
The hydraulic control system is mounted on the check valve and
installed at the pump station. The HCCV hydraulically controls
the opening and closing of the check valve disc. The valve prevents
slam subsequent to pump shut-down, reduces water hammer while
switching the pump on and off and alleviates surges resulting from a
power failure at the pump station.
1. Initial fast closing of the disk to 80% of its fully closed position
controllable from 2 to 10 seconds.
2. Secondary, damping stage, from 80% to fully closed
controllable from 5 to 200 seconds.
Supplemental fine-tuning by cam adjustments provides added
flexibility of the operation.
- Timing adjustments can be easily made on-site.
- Smooth non-slam closure of the disc.
- Face to face dimensions according to ISO and EN standards.
- Metallic removable seals for easy servicing.
- Sealing seats are corrosion and wear resistant.
- Hydraulic accumulator provides the energy to close the disc in the
event of a power failure.
- Low maintenance, long working life.
Applications
Specifications
- Pump Stations - at potable water, wastewater, desalination and

industrial processing plants.
Operation
The HCCV consists of a self-contained unit operated both by the

water flow generated by the main pump and by an electricallypowered hydraulic booster. The hydraulic control system manages
the opening and closing phases of the check valve operation. The
gradual opening phase is controlled at a predetermined rate. The
angle and the timing of the two-stage closing phase can be adjusted
to meet the flow regimen of the pipeline.
Main Features
EnC-HCCVWTR-11 129
- Innovatively designed to specifically control surge.

- The HCCV acts as an internal surge relief valve.
- Damping characteristics can be synchronized to match the
dynamic behavior of the surge waves in the system and can be
adapted to the transient conditions in the pipeline.
- Affords efficient pump station and pipeline protection.
- Hydraulically-opened full flow passage greatly reduces head losses
and lowers energy costs.
- Controlled closing cycle remains fully functional, even during
power failure.
- Opening cycle of the A.R.I. HCCV is set to prevent surge at pump
start-up.
- Closing cycle of the A.R.I. HCCV is fully controlled and
adjustable for the two principal phases:
- Nominal Size: 400 mm 900 mm

- Pressure Rating: 6 bar, 10 bar, 16 bar.
- Max. Working Temp.: 70C
- Electric Oil Pump: 3 Phase - 220 V, 5HP
- Electric Power Control: 24 DVC
Options
- Higher back-pressure application.

- Horizontal or Vertical Installation, upon request - for confined
spaces.
- Special internal/external coatings for use with corrosive liquids.
HCCV
Typical Power Failure Closing
Characteristics
The first fast closing angle (%) and time (t1) are continuously
adjustable depending on the hydraulic characteristicsof the line.The
second damping closure is adjusted to include the surge wave return
time: 2L/c.This allows a part of the surge wave to be absorbed by the
HCCV and pump resistance.

Backflow Preventer
Description
The RP-500 Backflow Preventer is designed to supply maximum

protection against backflow caused by negative pressure or
backpressure. Backflow may cause infiltration of chemicals,
fertilizers and/or other pollutants into potable water systems. The
RP-500 is reliable and easily maintained, without the need for
special tools.
The RP-500 is built with two independent, easily replaceable
capsulated spring-loaded check valves. A revolutionary, internal
Reduced Pressure Zone, located between the check valves, ensures
protection and reliable performance of the relief valve.
Applications
- Chemical and fertilizer systems in landscape and agriculture.

- Swimming pools
- Dairies and poultry coops
Operation
EnC-RP500WTR-11 137
During normal flow, the two check valves open to supply water
downstream. The Relief Valve is power-activated by upstream
pressure and is kept shut by a diaphragm, through the internal
control system.
In the zone, the area between the check valves, pressure is
maintained at approximately 0.43 bar lower than the water supply
pressure. The Outlet Check Valve is spring-loaded to maintain a
minimum pressure decrease of 0.07 bar.
When negative pressure or sub-atmospheric conditions occur, the
Inlet Check Valve closes to prevent backflow. If the Outlet Check
Valve fails, the pressure between the two check valves rises, opening
the Relief Valve and releasing the water to the atmosphere.
The Relief Valve operates on differential pressure. Supply pressure
on the upstream side of the Inlet Check Valve acts against the
diaphragm to close the Relief Valve during normal operation. In the
event of backpressure or backsiphonage, the Relief Valve will open
to maintain the pressure in the zone at 0.14 bar less than the inlet
pressure.
Note: If water continues to drain from the Relief Valve, check the
Troubleshooting section for probable causes and solutions.

UFR
Water Supply
PN 16
Unmeasured-Flow Reducer PATENTED

Apparent (commercial) water losses
A major cause for apparent water losses is the fact that domestic
water meters have difficulty in measuring very low flow rates
mainly below Qmin.
The minimum flow rate (Qmin), where an accuracy of +/5% is
required by the appropriate ISO standard for small domestic
water meters (Qn 1.5), is 30 l/h for class B water meters, 15 l/h
for class C water meters and 11.25 l/h for class D water meters.
Loss of income due to the under-registration of water
meters at low flow rates
Under-registration of low flow rates is the main reason for
apparent water losses and it can account for 5%-10% of the
total water sold to users by the water utility. For old water
meters, where the measuring starting point is higher and for houses
with water storage tanks, apparent water losses can be more than
10%.
Main reasons for leaks and low flow rates that cause
under-registration of the water meter:
- Dripping or improperly closed faucet.
- Leaks in toilet tank seals.
- Very low flow rates at the end of the filling cycle of toilet tanks
and water storage tanks.
- Pipework leaks downstream of the water meter.
A.R.I.s Solution: UFR - Unmeasured-Flow Reducer
UFR - Is a smart and simple product, installed in the domestic
water supply line (In-Line), adjacent to the water meter.
UFR - At low flow rates, changes the flow regime to batches
that the water meter can measure.
UFR - Operating Principles

The UFR begins working at very low flow rates, below Qmin.
The UFR regulates the water flow so there is no water flow
at all through the UFR part of the time, while the rest of the
time, the flow is high enough to be measured. A change in the
flow discipline at low flow rates allows the existing water meter
to measure those low flow rates it could not measure before.
When the flow rate increases above Qmin, the UFR remains
open, so that it does not interfere with normal measurements.
Advantages of the UFR
- Reduces unmeasured flow, cuts down apparent losses.
- Substantially increases the income of the water utility, up
to 10%.
- The UFR is a high quality check valve preventing backflow
and main pipe contamination.
- When water is billed in a block of flats according to the domestic
water meter plus the mean difference between the domestic
water meters and the main water meter, the UFR can make the
billing fairer.
- Turns apparent water losses into revenue water.
- Reduces measurement differences between the main water
meter and domestic water meters.
- Helps detect small leaks downstream of the water meter.
The A.R.I. UFR is approved by the following Standards
authorities:
WRAS, PZH, The Standards Institution of ISRAEL.
EnC-UFRWTR-11 143
UFR
How Does The UFR Work:
1. UFR closed
When pressure on both sides of the UFR is equal, the spring

pushes the plunger to the closed position.
2. UFR starts opening
Leakage causes the downstream pressure to decrease - and the

plunger moves forward, pulling the rubber seal with it.
3. UFR opens
The plunger seal disengages instantaneously and the water batch

moves quickly forward and activates the water meter.
4. UFR closes again
When pressure on both sides of the UFR is equal the spring

pushes the plunger back to the "closed" position.

Description
The D-020 Combination Air Valve combines an air & vacuum

orifice and an air release orifice in a single body. The valve is
specially designed to operate with liquids carrying solid particles
such as wastewater and effluents. The combination air valve
discharges air (gases) during the filling or charging of the system,
admits air into the system while it is being emptied of liquid and
releases accumulated air (gases) from the system while it is under
pressure and operating. The valves unique design enables the
separation of the liquid from the sealing mechanism and assures
optimum working conditions.
Applications
-Pump stations for sewage, wastewater & water treatment plants.

-Wastewater, effluent water and sea water supply lines.
Operation
The air & vacuum component discharges air at high flow rates
during the filling of the system and admits air into the system at
high flow rates during its drainage and at water column separation.

stoppage.
disturbances.
As the system starts to fill, the combination wastewater valve

functions according to the following stages:
1. Entrapped air/gas is discharged by the valve
2. When the liquid level reaches the valves lower portion, the lower
float is lifted, pushing the sealing mechanism to its sealing position.
3. The entrapped air is confined in a pocket between the liquid
and the sealing mechanism. The air pressure is equal to the system
pressure.
4. Increases in system pressure compress the trapped air in the upper
section of the conical chamber. The conical shape assures the height
of the air gap. This enables separation of the liquid from the sealing
mechanism.
5. Entrapped air (gas), accumulating at peaks and along the system,
rises to the top of the valve, and displaces the liquid in the valves
body.
6. When the liquid level is lowered to a point where the float is no
longer buoyant, the float drops, unsealing the rolling seal. The air
release orifice opens and allows part of the air that accumulated in
the upper portion of the valve to be released to the atmosphere.
7. Liquid enters the valve. The float rises, pushing the rolling seal to
its sealing position. The remaining air gap prevents the wastewater
from fouling the mechanism.
Main Features

- The unique design of the valve prevents contact between the
wastewater and the sealing mechanism by creating an air gap at the
top of the valve. These features are achieved by:
The conical body shape: designed to maintain the maximum
distance between the liquid and the sealing mechanism and still
obtain minimum body length.
Spring-loaded joint between the stem and the upper float:
vibrations of the lower float will not unseal the air release
component. Release of air will occur only after enough air
accumulates.
The Rolling Seal Mechanism: less sensitive to pressure
differentials than a direct float seal. It accomplishes this by having a
D-020
comparably large orifice for a wide pressure range (up to 16 bar).
Funnel-shaped lower body: designed to ensure that residue
wastewater matter will fall back into the system and be carried away
by the main pipe.
- All inner metal parts made of stainless steel.
- 1" threaded discharge outlet enables removal of excess fluids.
- 1" ball valve releases trapped pressure and drains the valve body
prior to maintenance.

Two-directional discharge outlet cover
The D-023 combination air valve for wastewater is available with an
optional stainless steel two-directional discharge outlet cover.
One outlet is always open for air discharge while the other is closed
with a plug. Both outlets have a 3 female thread.
With this option, air can be discharged either in a horizontal or
vertical direction, depending on the installation. This option allows
for easy vertical air discharge from valves installed in manholes.
This cover is standard on all D-023 SB underground air valves and
is optional for all D-023 air valves, both stainless steel and epoxy
coated.

Combination Air Valve for Wastewater - Non Slam
The D-023 Combination Wastewater Non Slam accessory will
dampen surge and prevent slam. The non slam accessory provides
efficient surge suppression.
At sudden drainage and/or water column separation (sudden pump
trips or valve closure, for instance), the air & vacuum orifice admits
air at high flow rates, thus preventing vacuum. As the water column
and/or pressure wave returns, the large volumes of air are exhausted
slowly through the smaller orifice of the non-slam acessory. This
slowly exhausting air pocket dampens the slam of the returning
water column, thus suppressing the pressure surge. As the water flow
arrives at a much slower rate, dampened by the slower air discharge,
it buoys up the main float, gently closing the air & vacuum
component of the air valve.

Wastewater
PN 16

Description
The D-026 Combination Air Valve combines an air & vacuum orifice
and an air release orifice in a single body. The valve is specially designed to
operate with liquids carrying solid particles such as wastewater and effluents.
The combination air valve discharges air (gases) during the filling or charging
of the system, admits air into the system while it is being emptied of liquid
and releases accumulated air (gases) from the system while it is under
pressure and operating. The valves unique design enables the separation
of the liquid from the sealing mechanism and assures optimum working
conditions.
Applications
- Pump stations for sewage, wastewater and water treatment plants.

- Sewage water, effluent water and sea water supply lines.
Operation
The air & vacuum component discharges air at high flow rates during the
filling of the system and admits air into the system at high flow rates during
its drainage and at water column separation.
High velocity air will not blow the float shut. Water will lift the float which
seals the valve. At any time during system operation, should internal pressure
of the system fall below atmospheric pressure, air will enter the system.
The smooth discharge of air reduces pressure surges and other destructive
phenomena.
The intake of air in response to negative pressure protects the system from
destructive vacuum conditions and prevents damage caused by water column
separation. Air entry is essential to efficiently drain the system. The air release
component releases entrapped air in pressurized systems.
Without air valves, pockets of accumulated air may cause the following
hydraulic disturbances:
- Restriction of effective flow due to a throttling effect as would a partially
closed valve. In extreme cases this will cause complete flow stoppage.
- Obstruction of efficient hydraulic transmission due to air flow disturbances.
EnC-D026SWG-11 187
As the system starts to fill, the combination wastewater valve functions

2. When the liquid level reaches the valves lower portion, the lower float is
lifted, pushing the sealing mechanism to its sealing position.
3. The entrapped air is confined in a pocket between the liquid and the
sealing mechanism. The air pressure is equal to the system pressure.
4. Increases in system pressure compress the trapped air in the upper section
of the conical chamber. The conical shape assures the height of the air gap.
This enables complete separation of the liquid from the sealing mechanism.
5. Entrapped air (gas), accumulating at peaks and along the system, rises to
the top of the valve, and displaces the liquid in the valves body.
6. When the liquid level is lowered to a point where the float is no longer
buoyant, the float drops, unsealing the rolling seal. The air release orifice
opens and allows part of the air that accumulated in the upper portion of the
valve to be released to the atmosphere.
7. Liquid enters the valve. The float rises, pushing the rolling seal to its
sealing position. The remaining air gap prevents the wastewater from fouling
the mechanism.
When internal pressure falls below atmospheric pressure (negative
pressure):
1. The floats will immediately drop down, opening the air & vacuum and air
release orifices.
Main Features

- The unique design of the valve prevents contact between the wastewater
and the sealing mechanism by creating an air gap at the top of the valve.
These features are achieved by:
The conical body shape and the external rod: designed to maintain the
maximum distance between the liquid and the sealing mechanism and still
Spring loaded joint between the stem and the upper float: vibrations of
the lower float will not unseal the automatic valve. Release of air will occur
only after enough air accumulates.
Funnel-shaped lower body: designed to ensure that residue wastewater
matter will fall back into the system and be carried away by the main pipe.
The Rolling Seal Mechanism: less sensitive to pressure differentials than a
direct float seal. It accomplishes this by having a comparably large orifice for
a wide pressure range (up to 16 bar).
- Unique design prevents contact between the wastewater and the sealing
mechanism, prevents clogging by floating solids and ensures drip-tight
sealing.
- The D-026 orifice plug-disc linkage assembly is external, keeping the rod
and pins outside the air valve body and its corrosive atmosphere.
- Discharge outlet enables removal of excess fluids
- 1 ball valve releases trapped pressure and drains the valve body prior to
maintenance.
Valve Selection
- Size availability: 6, 8.
- Valve manufactured with flanged ends to meet any requested standard.
- Valve body coating: fusion bonded epoxy coating according to the standard
DIN 30677-2.
- Standard metal body and polyethylene cover, also available with a ST. ST.
body and polyethylene cover.
- An optional Non-Slam discharge-throttling attachment (see drawing on
next page), allows for free air intake, throttles air discharge.
- Additional coatings including Halar are available upon request.
Note
- The D-026 air valve is intended for use with raw wastewater. For use with
aggressive liquids, please consult with our application engineers or with the
marketing dept.
- For best suitability, it is recommended to send the fluid chemical properties
along with the valve request.
- Upon ordering, please specify: model, size, working pressure, threads

S-025-SB
Wastewater
PN 10

Description
The S-025 SB is a complete product package that combines the

reliable and efficient properties of the A.R.I. S-025 automatic air
release wastewater valve with the added feature of a sub-surface
valve that can be buried below ground. A specially designed gear
box operated horizontal sliding disc valve - situated at the base of
the S-025 SB assembly - allows for the air valve disconnection and
mechanism enabling disconnection and removal of the S-025 air
valve from its subsurface housing, even when the system is under
pressure. Since service and maintenance operations of the unit are
performed entirely from the surface, there is no need for safety
considerations associated with confined space entry.
The S-025 Automatic Air Release Valves are specially designed to
operate with liquids carrying solid particles such as wastewater and
effluent. The valves release accumulated air (gases) from the system
while under pressure and operating. The valves unique design
enables the separation of the liquid from the sealing mechanism and
assures optimum working conditions.

sliding disc valve designed for underground and confined space
installations. The gear box is activated by a vertical operating rod
(enables above ground operation of underground installations).
The valve provides fluid-tight sealing up to 25 bar (365 psi) working
pressure and is installed horizontally between the pipeline and the
user's device.
Integral to the valve is either a 2" or 3" threaded or quick
connection adaptor outlet. The 3" adaptor has an additional 1 "
BSP female threaded orifice perpendicular to its vertical access,
which can be used as a flushing outlet.
The quick connection adaptor has a built in safety mechanism to
prevent the accidental removal of the user's device while there is
open flow through the valve. The disc valve must be in the closed
position before the user's device can be disconnected from the quick
connection adaptor.

Operation
EnC-NR040WTR-11 209
- Liquid flow through the check valve raises the disc to its open
position and allows for the flow of liquids to the pipeline.
- Two Possible Situations for Disc Closure
1. Regular quiet closure of the disc.
2. Closure during the return flow of the water column, a situation
that can cause slam of the disc and damage to the check valve.
- In order to prevent this destructive phenomenon, it is
recommended to install a counterweight on the shaft of the check
valve. With this addition, the disc will close at the point of water
flow cessation and before the water column returns. The returning
wave will impact on a closed disc and the acceleration of the disc
closure will result in a minimal slam effect.
- Another option is to install a hydraulic piston to control the
closure of the disc.
Main Features

- Surge-resistant cast iron body.
- Bronze or ductile iron disc with natural rubber flap seal, seals at
low pressures and eliminates wear and tear of the flap.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Control and Effect of Air in Irrigation Systems
Air in an irrigation system must be controlled because the presence of air bubbles and air pockets, or their absence (vacuum), can cause problems and damage
to the system.
Problems and Damage Caused by the Presence of Air Pockets and Air Bubbles in Water Pipelines
1. Uneven flow through the pipe sometimes even stopping water flow altogether.
2. High losses of water head and consequently, energy losses.
3. Water hammer damage to the pipes, accessories and connectors.
4. False readings of water meters and automatic metering devices (and consequent payment for water not supplied, virtual use of water above licensed
pumping limits, under utilization of available water supplies, inadequate supply of water to crops because plants receive less water than the volume measured
by the hydrometer or water meter).
5. Inadequate supply of water to agricultural crops caused by throttling of flows and accumulated pressure losses at system ends.
6. Extensive damage to impeller systems in water meters, hydrometers, sprinklers and sprayers.
7. Corrosion damage.
8. Physical risk - when large volumes of air are released at high velocity.
The Problems Exacerbated by the Presence of a Vacuum
1. Mud and dirt are sucked into the system through drippers.
2. Seals, drippers and other accessories are sucked into the main distribution lines.
3. Uncontrolled entry of chemicals and fertilizers injected into agricultural and landscape irrigation systems.
4. Vacuum-induced collapse of pipes and accessories (sub-atmospheric pressures).
5. Increased risk of surge and slam conditions during the release of air pockets.
6. Cavitation damages..
Control of Air in Irrigation Systems Using A.R.I. Air Valves
There are three main types of air valves installed in irrigation systems: air & vacuum, automatic air release and combination (double) valves.
Air & Vacuum valves discharge large quantities of air from non-pressurized pipes and are used mainly when filling a line. These valves also make it possible
to admit large quantities of air when lines are drained and at water column separation. Air & Vacuum valves are also known as: kinetic valves; large orifice
air valves, vacuum breakers, low-pressure air valves and air-relief valves.
Automatic air release valves continuously release relatively small quantities of air from a pressurized line. The automatic air valve is also known as an: air
release valve; small orifice air valve and as a pressure air valve.
Combination air valves fulfill the tasks required of both types of valve air & vacuum and automatic. In other words they discharge or admit large
volumes of air when filling or emptying a system and continuously release small volumes air when the line is pressurized.
Combination air valves are also known as double orifice air valves.
The Range of Advanced Air Valves from A.R.I. Flow Control Accessories
A.R.I. is one of the worlds leading manufacturers of air valves. A.R.I. engineers have developed a range of advanced composite material air valves, specially
designed for use in agricultural and landscaping applications.
Technologically, the product range is based on the A.R.I. patented rolling seal mechanism, which replaces the old system that uses the valve float to seal air
valve orifices. The rolling seal mechanism and the aerodynamically designed float, in this line of air valves, provide much greater efficiency (larger orifices)
and have better resilience to withstand dynamic valve closure.
The new sealing mechanism enabled the development of small, lightweight air valves with a superior cost / benefit ratio. The width of the SG-10 automatic
air valve from A.R.I. is a mere 87 millimeters; it stands no more than 140 mm high and weighs just 330 grams. Despite its small dimensions, the area of air
orifice in this valve reaches 12 mm, which permits the release of 152 cubic meters of air per hour and can withstand pressures of up to 10 bar.
The valve's integral self-cleaning mechanism prevents blockages, leaks and particles from sticking to the sealing faces.
EnC-RCMAGR-11 13
The DG-10 model valve is just 180 mm wide, (including the protruding drainage funnel) 209 mm tall and weighs only 1.1 kg. With 12mm of automatic
orifice area and 804 mm of kinetic orifice area, intake and release of air is very efficient even more efficient than much larger and much heavier air valves,
which are overwhelmed and slam closed at lower differential pressures. The valve's integral self-cleaning mechanism prevents blockages and leaks and
particles do not stick to the sealing faces.
The R&D team at A.R.I has also developed the AV-010 air & vacuum valve to provide solutions for agricultural and landscaping irrigation systems. The
product is manufactured from composite materials and is available in 3, 2, 1 and 3/4 sizes. It is lightweight, compact and very competitively priced.

To calculate the number of DG-10 (Barak) air valves required in an irrigation system, two criteria must be considered:
- The need to protect against vacuum damage (achieved by admitting air into the system)
- The need to discharge air from the system when it is filled with water
Air discharge requirements are usually lower than the air intake requirements for a line because the rates at which lines can be filled are generally
lower. Diagram Number 1 can be used to establish air discharge requirements during line filling. In Diagram Number 1, it can be seen that one
DG-10 valve is enough for pipes with a diameter of up to 8 (and sometimes up to 10).
This diagram is based on the release of air with a differential pressure of 0.4 bar.
The number of 2 DG-10 air valves required during the filling
of a line according to line filling rate (with a pressure differential
of 0.4 Bar) and pipe diameter.
Vacuum protection demands are usually higher, and this is particularly true when the line has acute angles of ascent and descent and / or when the
pipe has a large diameter. Diagram Number 2 is based on the Hazen Williams friction loss equation; a Hazen Williams coefficient of 110 and a
negative pressure differential of 0.4 bar.
The number of 2 DG-10 air valves required to protect against
vacuum damage during line drainage according to pipe diameter
and slopes of up to 15 (with a negative pressure differential

The number of 2 DG-10 air valves required during the filling of

a line according to line filling rate (with a pressure differential of
0.4 Bar) and pipe diameter.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Critical Velocity Required for Transporting Air Bubbles
At the point where the rate of water flow drops below the critical velocity for air movement, air valves should be located at these critical points.
Installation of air valves is particularly important along long horizontal sections of line because flow rates are too low to carry air pockets and bubbles
to the downstream air valves. Installation of air valves is also important on long descending sections of pipe in which the flow of water must overcome
the opposing flow of air (flowing naturally to the high spots). See: Graphs describing critical speeds.
Calculating the Number of AV-010 Air & Vacuum Valves to be Installed in a Sub-surface Dripper
System
An AV-010 air & vacuum valve, used to prevent vacuum conditions as low as a negative pressure of 1 m, must be installed in every sub-surface drip
system to prevent suction of dirt into the drippers and subsequent blockages.
An AV-010 air & vacuum valve must also be used to prevent the formation of a vacuum in dripper system laterals and thereby prevent their collapse.
If the dripper-irrigated field is relatively flat and has no significant topographical changes, planning of air valve location will be based on the systems
working pressures and flow.
If the dripper-irrigated field contains substantial topographic changes, calculation of the AV-010 air & vacuum valve numbers and locations will be
based on the maximum drainage flow or on the flow of fluids during a burst the size of the pipe diameter, or the larger of the two

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Characteristics of Water Systems Used in
Agriculture and Landscaping:
SG-10-V
DG-70
- High frequency changes in flow characteristics.

- Water treatment in the field (filtration).
- Chemicals and fertilizers are injected into the irrigation system.
- Often necessary to use fragile and often complex equipment and
instrumentation.
- Large differences in the characteristics and materials used in pipes,
connectors and accessories.
Installation at Pumps
NR-040
DG-10 1
It is recommended to install a DG-70 dynamic air valve directly

after the pump and before the pumps check valve. Water pumped
from an independent supply such as a well, stream or reservoir
requires the intake of air into the pump and suction pipes. This air
will continue to disperse in the system during pump operation.
Mode of Operation: When the pump begins operating, large
volumes of air are discharged through the air & vacuum orifice of
the air valve. The water flow raises the float, closes the orifice and
opens the check valve. When the pump is shut down or ceases
to operate for any other reason, air, admitted through the air &
vacuum orifice, acts as a vacuum breaker. It protects the pump,
connectors, accessories and seals from damage caused by subatmospheric (negative) pressure.
The small automatic air release orifice continues to release air while
the pump is working and the line is pressurized. At its location
before the check valve, it protects the sealing face of the check valve
from cavitation damage caused by the presence of small air bubbles
in the water.
It is recommended to install a SG-10 air valve on the pump to
provide pump protection.
It is recommended to install a DG-70 air valve after the pump check
valve when the pipeline, upstream of this point, remains level or
drops below ground level. This air valve will allow for the intake
of air (at water column separation) when the pump is shut down
and the check valve closes. It also will discharge air when the water
column returns.
Installation in Locations with Changing

Pressures
DG-10 2
It is recommended to install a 1 DG-10 air valve in areas with

fluctuating pressure pressure regulation valves, pressure release
valves and at changes in pipe diameter. These are the areas where
air pockets form and might migrate into the line. As the pipe is
filled, these areas can become problematic if not provided with
an adequate air release system. If pressure fluctuations are not
too extreme, the SG-10 air valve will be sufficient when installed
downstream and close to these sensitive areas (close to an accessory
or disturbance).
EnC-INSTAGR-11
Installation at the Highest Points in a Line
It is recommended to install a DG-10 air valve at all the highest points

in each line where flow velocities drop below the critical velocity for
air movement (See: Graphs section below).
The air & vacuum component, installed at line high-points, discharges
air as the line is filled and admits air during line drainage, regardless
of whether the process is controlled or not (pipe burst or collapse).
The automatic air release component releases air accumulating at
high points when the line is pressurized during regular operations.
Where the topography is relatively flat, the line has shallow slopes
and the high points are relatively close, then the SG-10 automatic air
release valve can replace the DG-10 valves at some of the high points.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
DG-10 2
DG-10 2
DG-10 2
Installation on Long Lines
On long lines, it is recommended to install DG-10 or SG-10 valves

every 500 meters to 800 meters. It is also recommended to install
DG-10 valves on both sides of long sections of horizontal pipe.
Installation Close to a Main Line Valve
When the line is pressurized and an isolating valve is closed, it is

recommended to install an air valve before the isolating valve in order
to release air. Installation of the air valve will protect the valve plate
against cavitation damage caused by small air bubbles. During line
fill, if a valve at the end of the line is closed, slowing down the filling
process, it is recommended to install an air valve before the isolating
valve on lines with large diameters and high flow rates.
The installation of a DG-10 air valve after an isolating valve will also
protect the line from negative pressure (vacuum) conditions caused
when the valve is closed suddenly and assist in controlling the filling
process when the isolating valve is open.
Installation Where a Line Crosses Under a

Road or Ditch
It is recommended to install a DG-10 air valve wherever a large

diameter pipe, with sharp upward or downward angle changes,
crosses under a road or ditch. When the crossing point is wide and/or
deep, install the air valves at the uppermost point of the angle change
on both sides of the road. If the crossing point is short and shallow,
it is sometimes possible to install one DG-10 valve on the uppermost
point of angle change on the downstream side of the crossing point.
Installation Before Water Meters and

Automatic Regulators
DG-10 1
It is recommended to install a DG-10 air valve on the upstream side

of a flow meter and automatic flow regulator. Given that the water
flow regulator is a special type of isolating valve, it is recommended to
also install another DG-10 air valve on the downstream side after the
regulator.
Air can flow at velocities up to 29 times faster than water flow. The
fast-moving flow of air through a water meter or through the unit
that measures flow in the automatic regulator will spin the impeller,
used to measure flow, at very high velocities These instruments, which
cannot differentiate between water and air, will register very high flow
volumes that do not, in fact, exist. Another problem created under such
conditions is the inadequate supply of irrigation water to the fields
caused by these air-related inaccurately recorded high flow rates.
Water both cools and lubricates as it turns the impellers inside the
measuring equipment. Air moving through the measuring unit at
high speed causes the impeller to overheat and prevents water-cooling,
resulting in high temperature damage that can even melt the plastic
impeller. Installation of an air valve before the measuring equipment
will protect the meter from heat damage and false readings.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installation at the Main Line Control System
AV-010 2
It is recommended to install a combination DG-10 air valve directly

on the vertical pipe at the main line control system. This will ensure
control of air in the water supply and protection for the other
accessories in the control system and protection for the water meters
further downstream.
Install an AV-010 Guardian model air valve after the tap on the
lateral line feeding the dripper lines.
DG-10 2
Installation on Filters
It is recommended to install a DG-70 air valve on sand media filters

and a DG-70 air valve on screen and disc filters.
Filtering efficiency - air flowing through an automatic back flush
filter system disrupts the filters hydraulic functioning, creating
differential pressures in the filter. Consequently, the filter system
flushes frequently, wasting water and lowering system efficiency.

DG-70
Agriculture
PN 10

Description
The DG-70 Dynamic Combination Air is a unique valve, operating

without a float and utilizing the rolling diaphragm principle. This
unique structure allows the dynamic air valve to discharge air
from the water system in a controlled and gradual manner, thus
preventing slam and local up-surges. When vacuum (down-surge)
occurs, the valve reacts quickly to admit large volumes of air into
the water system, thus impeding down-surges and, consequently,
all pressure surges in the line. The air & vacuum component of the
dynamic air valve is normally closed when the line is not operating,
thus preventing the infiltration of debris and insects into the water
system.
Applications
Recommended installations:
-Standard installation on water systems when the pipeline diameter
is 8 or greater.
-Installation on water systems for all pipeline diameters when the
slope of the pipeline is greater than 2%-3%.
Operation
raising the large orifice sealing assembly to the open position. Air is
then discharged, mainly out through the lower chamber large orifice
as well as small amounts of air released out through upper chamber
operating valve orifice. When the ensuing water enters the dynamic
air valve, it fills the lower chamber and some of it flows up through
the orifice chamber and enters into the upper operating chamber,
raising the float of the operating valve which rolls the sealing
mechanism to its sealed position. Pressure develops inside the upper
operating chamber, bringing about a controlled lowering and sealing
of the large orifice sealing assembly, which, in turn, closes the lower
chamber large orifice.
EnC-DG70AGR-11

At this stage, only the automatic air release component continues to
function and releases air through its small orifice. With a reduction
in line pressure, during drainage or shut-off, the pressure in the
valve is reduced and is lower then the outside atmospheric pressure.
The vacuum created will cause the large orifice sealing assembly
to rise up into its open position, opening the lower chamber large

orifice and allowing the intake of air from the atmosphere into the
system.

Check Valve
Description
The NR-030 Swing-Type Non-Return Valve allows for onedirectional flow and prevents the return flow of the liquid to its
source.
This check valve is designed for installation on horizontal pumps,
boosters and filtration systems, preventing return flow and providing
for quiet closure and total sealing of the sealing face.
The length of the NR-030 check valve is designed to allow
installation between two flanges of short spacing, allowing for
installation of the check valve in small and narrow systems.
Applications
- Potable water systems

- Reservoirs
- Pumps and pump stations
- Lateral pivots
- Swimming pools
Specifications
The NR-030 check valve is available in the following sizes:

2" 16" with the extended shaft
2" 8" with the short shaft
Working pressure: 16 bar (250 psi)
Maximum working temperature: 90C.
FBE coating according to the standard DIN 30677-2
Surge-resistant cast iron body.
Cast steel St.37 disc with natural rubber flap seal, allowing for sealing
at low pressures.
Internal parts made of bronze and/or stainless steel.
- NR-030 check valve can be installed either horizontally or vertically
(only when the flow is in an upward direction).
Selection
EnC-NR030AGR-11
- Counterweights can be installed for quiet closure.

- A limit switch can be installed to alert and protect the pump during
the start of water flow and its cessation.
- An extended shaft can be installed, enabling the addition of a
counterweight and/or limit switch.
- For maximum suitability, it is recommended to define the fluid
composition and requirements of the system.
Limit Switch Model LS

A device which transmits a contact signal to the control panel,
monitors the flow status of the non-return valve, and provides for a
smooth and trouble-free operation of the system.
The device is made up of a stationary part, fastened to the body of
the non-return valve and a single moving part, fastened to the shaft
of the valve, which moves with the opening/ closing of the nonreturn valve.
The limit switch for the non-return valve can be obtained in
diameters 2- to 16.
LS-010 Model 2-4
LS-015 Model 6-16
Instructions for Installation and Usage
The base (5) of the limit switch and the limit switch itself (6) should
be installed on the brass plug (2) of the non-return valve, being
firmly fastened there by the bolt (1) located on the side of the base.
The activator (3) should be installed on the shaft of the non-return
valve, with the straight part pointing at the limit switch gate pulley.
The activator can be adjusted in such a way that it activates the limit
switch according to the desired opening / closing angle of the nonreturn valve. Once it is properly set, the activator is fastened to the
shaft with the fastening bolt (4).

Installation and Location

The principle tasks of an air valve are:

2. Q d = MC d ( D d 2 / 4 ) ( 2 g h ) 0 .5 a nd M = {1/ [1-(D d / D p ) 4 ]}0.5

= Air intake flow rate requirement m2/sec

= Hazen Williams friction head loss due to the initial Qd - m

Now, we calculate the new h by subtracting hf from the initial h:

Check valves have various uses such as:

There are various types of check valves:

Top-cover type check valves are designed to contend with aggressive

Typical installation locations:

- In pumping stations for raw wastewater.
