Air Release and Vacuum Valve

A device that allows excess air or vacuum to escape from a system is known as an air release and vacuum valve. This is significant for a number of reasons. Excess air in a system decreases capacity, increases power consumption, and can even cause line breakages. An air release and vacuum valve is commonly installed at high locations in a pipeline, near a pump, or at the end of long pipe lengths or deep well installations.

Air Release and Vacuum Valve

In water pipes and sewer force mains, air release valves are widespread. These valves are noticeable and situated at high places throughout the system. They may also be found slightly downstream of a flowing body of water. A water pipeline system would be incomplete without an air release valve. Its primary function is to release trapped air in the pipeline to ensure maximum efficiency. It also aids in the prevention of water hammer. An air release and vacuum valve is a vital part of a pipeline system.


An air release and vacuum valve helps to vent air pockets to the atmosphere. These air bubbles can collect at the highest points in a system and create a vacuum. An air release and vacuum valve will help to eliminate these air pockets and keep the system pressurized.
