Underground air valve for water and neutral liquids to max. 60°C (temporarily up to 90°C)
AVK underground air valve is designed to save manhole costs. It is suitable for frost protection and for installation under important crossings like roads and buildings where manholes would cause dangerous undermining of the ground. The underground air valve features a dynamic design allowing high velocity air discharge and a special one-way outlet that drains water from the valve box and prevents water intake.
