Connecting and Air Release Valve
There are several ways to connect an Air Release Valve to an Irrigation supply line depending on what size of line you use. We will now provide several examples using a variety of components, all of which work on the same principle. We will look at connecting at 1/2 and 3/4" and larger distribution lines seperately.
Connecting an Air Relief Valve to a 1/2" Distribution Line** |
Since all Air Relief Valves have male pipe thread all connection options must have a female pipe thread fitting for a proper connection. |
** This is using Permaloc fittings but there are other methods of creating this air relief connection using insert fittings and clamps
Connecting an Air Relief Valve to a 3/4" and 1" Distribution Lines | |
Since all Air Relief Valves have male pipe thread all connection options must have a female pipe thread fitting for a proper connection. | |
Option 1 | Option 2 |
3/4" Poly | 3/4" Poly |
1" Poly | 1" Poly |
