During pipe filling it is necessary to discharge as much air as water flows in. FOX Air Valve will make sure to perform this task allowing the release during working conditions. During operation, an air pocket is accumulated in the upper part of the valve, little by little it is compressed and its pressure arrives to water pressure, its volume increases pushing water downwards. Following Archimede's principle the float, no longer sustained by water thrust, will fall down to free the nozzle hole helping the release of the air pocket, while the upper disk will close the main orifice due to internal pressure. FOX Air Valve will avoid the air entrance thanks to a special system, composed of a spring, flat and o-ring, whose high sensitivity and accuracy allows the air discharge with a DP across the valve between 0,03 and 0,05 bar.
