Bermad IR-1-K10-P-S-NP-T Kinetic Air Vacuum Valve 1 Inch

Product Description

The BERMAD IR-1-K10-P-S-NP-T is a kinetic air and vacuum relief valve designed for pipeline protection in pressurized water distribution and irrigation systems. This valve automatically releases large volumes of air during system fill and admits air during draining or column separation events, preventing vacuum conditions that can cause pipe collapse or water hammer. At 1 inch in size, it is sized for residential and light commercial pipeline installations where reliable air release and vacuum protection are required. Licensed plumbers and irrigation system technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This valve is suited for use in pressurized water supply lines, irrigation mainlines, and water distribution networks where air accumulation and vacuum events are a known operational concern. The included test point allows technicians to verify valve function and system pressure without interrupting service. Kinetic air valves of this type are typically installed at high points in a pipeline where air naturally collects and vacuum is most likely to form during rapid depressurization or line draining.

Key Features

• Kinetic design releases large air volumes during pipeline filling and admits air during drainage or vacuum events
• Integrated test point allows in-service valve verification without system shutdown
• 1 inch connection size suitable for residential and light commercial piping configurations
• Provides protection against water hammer and pipe collapse caused by vacuum conditions
• Compact body designed for installation at pipeline high points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style kinetic air and vacuum relief valve for pressurized water distribution and irrigation pipeline applications requiring 1 inch air release protection with test point access.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified irrigation technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and system design specifications. Depressurize and isolate the pipeline section before installing or servicing the valve. Mount at verified high points in the pipeline where air accumulation is expected. Do not install in a position that restricts the valve float mechanism or blocks the air inlet and exhaust ports.
