Air Release Valves Β· Single Orifice Air Valves

Flanged Single Orifice Air Valves

Flanged single orifice air valves are the flanged-body execution of the single-orifice principle: one float-controlled orifice releases entrained air from a pressurized line and admits air under vacuum. The benchmark execution spans DN50 to DN300 at PN10, PN16 and Class 125, with a ductile iron body, a stainless steel 304 float and flanging to EN 593, DIN 2501 PN6/10/16 and DIN 3202, rated from -20 to 180 C for water, oil or gas.

Application & selection guidance

Choose the single-orifice execution where the line needs air release under pressure or vacuum protection at a single duty point; where bulk fill and drain air handling also matters, a compound (double-function) execution covers both stages in one body. Set the rating (PN10, PN16 or Class 125) and the flange standard to match the pipe class, and check the -20 to 180 C window against the medium.

Frequently asked questions

When is a single orifice air valve the right choice?

When the duty is releasing small air pockets that collect under pressure, or protecting against vacuum during drain-down, rather than bulk air exchange during fill. The benchmark page declares a DN50 to DN300 flanged body with a stainless 304 float for exactly this single-stage duty on water, oil and gas lines.

How does this differ from the screwed single-orifice execution?

Connection and rating span: this execution is flanged (EN 593, DIN 2501 PN6/10/16, DIN 3202) from DN50 to DN300 at PN10 to Class 125, whereas the screwed execution serves smaller screwed-end lines. The float material - stainless steel 304 - is the same on both.

What information is needed to quote one?

Nominal size within DN50 to DN300, line pressure class, medium and working temperature against the -20 to 180 C range. The flange standard then follows from the mating pipe class.

Ordering & documentation

Documents

Ask for the documentation set you need with the inquiry β€” typical items for this execution (material certificates, test reports to the listed inspection standard, dimensional drawings) are confirmed and supplied with the quotation.

Quotation

A quotation-ready inquiry states: nominal size and pressure rating, body and seat material preference, end connection, operation, and the service medium with temperature. Typical values on this page are benchmark reference ranges; the binding values are confirmed at quotation.

Sample & supply

Supply terms, order quantities and lead time are agreed per order β€” state the destination country and required schedule with the inquiry.

Storage & shipping

Store valves with seats and seals protected from UV, ozone and deformation, keep end-face protectors on until installation, and for elastomer- or PTFE-seated executions avoid prolonged outdoor storage β€” seat compounds age fastest in direct sunlight and freezing conditions.
