VAL-MATIC Air Release/Air Vacuum Valve: Clean Water, Cast Iron, 1 in Inlet Connection Size

A VAL-MATIC combination air release/air vacuum valve is used in clean water pipelines to automatically exhaust large volumes of air during system filling and admit air during draining, while also releasing accumulated air under pressure. This prevents vacuum collapse, reduces surge damage, and maintains system efficiency in municipal water and wastewater applications.

The VAL-MATIC 20C01-6BT-C6B5Y is a combination vacuum and air release valve with a 1-inch FNPT inlet connection. It features a cast iron body and is designed for clean water service. The manufacturer part number is 20C01-6BT-C6B5Y, and it is built to handle both high-capacity air release and vacuum protection in piping systems.

Install the VAL-MATIC combination air valve vertically on the pipeline at high points where air naturally collects. Use a full-port isolation valve upstream for maintenance. Ensure the FNPT connection is properly sealed with thread sealant. Follow standard piping practices: support the valve weight, avoid debris entry, and test for leaks after installation. Consult the manufacturer's manual for torque specs.
