Netafim 1″ Guardian Air/Vacuum Vent w/Schrader valve

Product Advantages

• Ensures maximum protection of the irrigation system with proper sizing and placement.
• Ensures vent closure as water fills the system, remains open when air pressure reaches 5 psi
• Large capacity vents dampen water hammer preventing pipes and fittings from cracking or bursting.
• Made of corrosion-resistant reinforced UV protected composite materials – no metal parts to rust or corrode, no need for spare parts.
• Guardian Air Vent with Shrader Valve is ideal for measuring local line pressure.
• Maximum pressure rating of 150 psi

Applications

• Commonly used downstream of valves, primarily at manifolds, to break vacuum caused by system draining.
• On sloping terrain to prevent collapsing of pipes caused by vacuum when pipe networks drain.
• Upstream of valves for air discharge during system start-up.
