Bermad IR-2-K10-P-S-NP-T Kinetic Air Vacuum Valve 2in

Product Description

The BERMAD IR-2-K10-P-S-NP-T is a kinetic air and vacuum release valve designed for water pipeline systems where automatic air venting and vacuum protection are required. At 2 inches, this valve handles both large-volume air release during pipeline filling and vacuum break conditions during draining or sudden pressure drops. A built-in test point allows technicians to verify valve function and system pressure without interrupting service. Plumbers and pipeline system technicians install this valve at high points in water distribution and irrigation mains to protect the line from air locking and column separation.

This valve is suited for use in pressurized water mains, irrigation distribution systems, and municipal or commercial pipeline networks. The kinetic design enables high-volume air discharge at startup and rapid vacuum break on shutdown or line breach, making it a fit for systems with significant elevation changes or long horizontal runs. The integrated test point is useful during commissioning and routine service calls without requiring valve removal.

Key Features

• Kinetic action provides high-volume air release during pipeline filling
• Vacuum break function protects against column separation and pipe collapse
• Integrated test point allows in-service pressure and function verification
• 2-inch body size suitable for medium-diameter water mains and irrigation headers
• Combination air and vacuum operation in a single valve body

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style air and vacuum release valve for pressurized water pipeline systems requiring automatic air venting and vacuum protection at 2-inch connection points.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters on pressurized water or irrigation systems. Depressurize and isolate the line section before installation and verify the connection orientation matches flow direction per the manufacturer marking. The valve should be mounted vertically at pipeline high points for proper kinetic float operation. Consult applicable local plumbing codes and the AWWA air valve placement guidelines when determining installation locations.
