INSTALLATION
The installation of the valve is important for its
proper operation. Valves should be installed at the
system high points in the vertical position with the
inlet down. For pipeline service, a vault with freeze
protection, adequate screened venting, and
drainage should be provided. During closure, some
fluid discharge will occur so vent lines should extend
to an open drain area in plant service. A shut-off
valve should be installed below the valve in the
event servicing is required.

CAUTION: Install valve with "INLET" port
down or leakage will occur.
VALVE CONSTRUCTION
The standard Wastewater Combination Air Valve
body and cover are cast iron. See the specific
Materials List submitted for the order if other than
standard cast iron construction. All internal
components are stainless steel with the exception of
the orifice button, which is resilient. The general
details of construction are illustrated in Figure 2.
The body (1) is threaded for connection to the
pipeline. The seat (4) is threaded into the cast cover
(2).
