Air Release Valve for Water

Data Sheet 920.1

The GA Industries Figure 920 and 920H Air Release Valves

vent accumulated air while the system is in operation and
pressurized. Typically installed at high points where air
naturally collects, the valve automatically opens when
sufficient air has collected in the valve and closes tightly after
the air is released.
In addition to being installed on pipelines, Figure 920 and
920H valves are also installed on the top of split case pumps
to release air from the volute, on pressure filters and anyplace
where its necessary to provide an automatic release of air for
efficient system operation.

Note:
1. Minimum working pressure is the lowest pressure at
which valve is factory tested to seat tightly.
2. Maximum working pressure is the highest pressure at
which the valve will open to release air
3. Float designed to withstand 1,000 PSI collapse pressure
