Water flow in case of break main
Air flow large orifice
Standard Mounting with Concentric LUG Butterfly
Valve
Mounting with EURO 20 NG type 23
Air valve type VENTEX SR (without isolating system) - Reinforced version
| The VENTEX SR air valves are without shutter gasket. The air valves protect the main: The device evacuates great air amounts during the filling of the main:
The ventex SR air valves are without shutter gasket. They are less bulky and easier to handle. They therefore do not include isolating system. The air valves are in conformance with EN 1074-4 and have a certificate of sanitary conformity. In order to allow the maintenance, the air valves must be installed with an isolating valve. |
Range
Air Valves Type VENTEX SR exist in a range stretching from DN50 to 200, for pressure PFA10, PFA16 and PFA25.
Fast choice of Ventex
Allows during the emptying of the main with a speed 1m/s
Main | DN ≤ 250 | DN300-600 | DN700-900 | DN1000-1200 | DN1200-1800 |
Air Valve | DN50, 60, 65 | DN80,100 | DN150 | DN200 | 2 DN200 |
This Ventex SR choice allows, in case of break main, to limit maximal pressure drop 0,3 Bar for a flow rate with a part full gravity pipeline on a given slope: See paragraph Performances.

Performances
Water flow in case of break main | Examples of Use: for a main DN600 laid inclined 4mm/m flow water around 1800 m3/h , flow which will not create a depression higher than 0,3b according to graph air flow large orifice below |
Air flow large orifice | Air Flow output by large orifice in m3/h (with the pressure of main: air flow = water flow) - Air Flow input by large orifice in m3/h (with the pressure of main: air flow = water flow) |

Marking
The marking of the valves manufactured by Saint-Gobain refers to the EN 1074-2 and EN 19 international standards.
Markings are either integral markings, cast in the body, or markings made on plates, securely fixed to the body, in accordance with the EN 19 standard specifications.
