Automatic Air Vents For Ultimate Performance
• Two Sizes Equip All Riser Systems
• Spherical Float for Strength
• Stainless Steel Float and Trim
• Special Design Eliminates Blow-by
The Air Vent (GAV) features a Stainless Steel spherical foat
design. Air in the piping system is vented through the discharge
valve that is normally open. Rising water activates the foat to
close the valve. The valve outlet is tapped to take a safety
drain line.
Simplicity of design in the GAV ensures long-lasting effciency.
The Stainless Steel foat and valve mechanism involve no wearing
parts, and no intricate function. The precision formed cast iron
body custom fts the foat and valve, and protectively houses
their operation under the most demanding conditions.
