As a professional China double orifice air valve manufacturer, Yuanjd Valve specializes in the design, production, and supply of high-performance double orifice air valves—also known as dual orifice air release valves or combination air valves—for a wide range of pipeline applications. Our double orifice air valves are engineered to serve as the complete “respirator” of piping systems , combining the functions of both a large-orifice air/vacuum valve and a small-orifice air release valve in a single, compact unit.
The double orifice air valve performs three essential functions to protect pipeline systems throughout their entire lifecycle:
Large-volume air discharge – During pipeline filling, the large orifice allows a high flow rate of air to escape rapidly, ensuring efficient filling and preventing air pockets.
Large-volume air intake – During pipeline draining or when negative pressure occurs, the large orifice admits air to break the vacuum and prevent pipeline collapse.
Continuous air bleeding – During normal operation under pressure, the small orifice automatically releases accumulated air that collects at high points, maintaining system efficiency.
| Feature | Double Orifice Air Valve | Single Orifice Air Valve |
|---|---|---|
| Orifice Configuration | Large + small (dual orifice) | Single opening |
| Functions | Triple function: rapid air release + vacuum admission + continuous air bleed | Single function: air release only |
| Vacuum Protection | Yes — admits large air volumes during drainage | No |
| Application | Complex systems requiring both bulk air management and continuous venting | Simpler systems with high-point air release only |
| Ideal For | Water transmission, wastewater force mains, large networks | Small distribution lines, localized high points |
Our double orifice air valves are manufactured in strict accordance with leading international standards:
Design Standards: AWWA C512, EN 1074-4
Testing: EN 12266-1, API 598
Flange Standards: EN 1092-2, BS 4504, ANSI B16.1
Size Range: DN50 to DN300 (NPS 2″ to 12″)
Pressure Rating: PN10, PN16, PN25 (Class 125/150/300 available)
Temperature Range: 0°C to 80°C
Body Materials: Ductile iron (GJS-500-7), cast iron
Float Materials: ABS plastic (standard) or stainless steel 304/316 (upon request)
Sealing: EPDM rubber or NBR
Coating: Fusion-bonded epoxy coating, 250-300 micron thick
Aerokinetic design – Allows air to rush out at high speed without forcing the float upward and closing prematurely; the valve closes only after all air has left the system
Non-clogging design – Eliminates the need for backwashing
Stainless steel internal trim – 316 stainless steel floats and components for superior corrosion resistance
Resilient seating – Ensures positive shutoff even at low pressures
Compact, lightweight construction – Easy installation and maintenance
Double orifice air valves are the preferred choice for critical pipeline applications:
Water Transmission Pipelines – Long-distance water mains, distribution networks
Wastewater & Sewage Force Mains – Pumping stations, treatment plants
Irrigation Systems – Agricultural and landscape irrigation networks
Industrial Processing – Chemical, petrochemical, and manufacturing fluid systems
Power Generation – Cooling water systems, condensate lines
Fire Protection Systems – Fire main air management
