Guardian Air Vents are made of corrosion-resistant UV protected composite materials. These large capacity vents dampen water hammer preventing pipes and fittings from cracking and bursting. Optional shrader valve is ideal for measuring local line pressure.

Guardian Air Vents proven design provides more air release capacity than other vents of similar size. Commonly used to break vacuum caused by sytem draining.

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 the following:

    • 5 psi for 3/4" and 1" Guardian

    • 10 psi for 2" Guardian

    • 8 psi for 3" Guardian

  • 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.

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.
