Wastewater
Reduced Bore, Combination Air Valve for Wastewater
Description
A.R.I. D-20 is a reduced bore, Combination Air Valve installed on a wastewater transmission
systems. The Air Valve is designed to improve hydraulic operation by protecting the pipeline,
increasing pipeline efficiency, and reducing energy requirements. The unique body shape
of the valve, enables a continuous air gap that separates the wastewater from the sealing
mechanism and helps to avoid deposits or blockage.
Installation
– Pump stations for sewage, wastewater & water treatment plants
– Wastewater and effluent water transmission lines
Operation
Air Discharge Air Intake Automatic One Way Out One Way In Non Slam
Air Release
D-020
Features and Benefits
Conical body & Funnel-shaped lower body maximum air gap/ minimum body length
Continuous air gap, separates the liquid from the sealing mechanism
residue matter falls back into the system pipeline
Float assembly and sealing mechanism linkage free movement, turbulence will not unseal the sealing mechanism
orifice & Rolling seal mechanism high capacity air discharge, no premature closure
leak-free sealing over wide range of pressure differentials
Screened threaded outlet compatible for vent pipe connection, prevents insect intrusion
Certification is conditional on the customer connecting the designated
ATEX certified air valves part on the product to a dedicated ground connection point

NOTE
The cover assembly with the discharge elbow can be set in four directions. C
Dimension A in the picture and in the table shows the maximum product width.
This width can be reduced by changing the direction.
B
All product weights and dimensions are approximate, due to the differences in
flange standards, materials and variable accessories.
The valve installed under the air valve must be fully open to prevent damage or
malfunction and ensure performance within the specifications of the air valve.
For complete installation instructions, please refer to the IOM document.
