Automatic Air Release Valve
Model: DRARV

General Description
An air release valve is generally installed in a dry riser system but
it can also be used in wet systems such as wet riser, automatic
sprinkler and fire hosereel systems. The automatic air release valve
adopts a simple ‘ball float’ operation using a hard rubber ball
located in the upper valve chamber. Air in the pipework is released
through the vent hole when it is initially charged with water until
the water reaches the ball chamber. The rubber ball will then be
pushed upwards to seal the vent hole.
