Page 4: Introduction
Sewage & Wastewater networks and operating conditions. The C80 evacuates air during pipeline filling, allows efficient release of air and gas pockets from pressurized pipes, and enables large volume air intake in the event of network draining. The elongated body and lower float prevent the fluid to be in contact with the upper mechanism. -
Page 5: Maintenance
Maintenance Prior to any maintenance work to be done on the air valve make sure that: ▪ Before any maintenance or non-regular operation, close the Isolation / ball valve, which is installed below the air valve. ▪ Comply with and follow all the standards and regulations for handling the fluids on which the air valve is operated. -
Page 6: Pre-Installation Requisites
Pre-Installation Requisites Post Shipment Make sure that till the actual installation the valve remains dry and clean in its original package. ▪ Unpack the valve and make sure that all the wrapping materials are removed. ▪ Before installation it is necessary to inspect that no damage to the valve had occurred during shipment;... -

Inflow Prevention Device: Please refer to the following picture for adding an Inflow Prevention device to the C80 Air Valve: Figure 4 - IP Picture First startup ▪ Open the Isolation / ball valve and verify that the air valve connections are not leaking; if needed follow the troubleshooting instruction section of this document. -
Page 11: Operation And Monitoring
Operation and Monitoring Principles of operation Pipeline filling During the filling process of a pipeline, high air flow is forced out through the kinetic orifice of the air valve. Once water enters the valve’s chamber, the float buoyed upwards causes the kinetic orifice to close. -
Page 12: Quick Maintenance
Quick maintenance The C80 air valve’s body has two service ports (upper and lower) that allow the user, when needed and depend on the dirt-load, to perform a quick flushing of the valve’s internal body (See the following picture): 1. -

Page 14: Periodic Maintenance
Periodic maintenance A periodical inspection of the seals and flushing of the valve are recommended for removing debris, foreign objects, and grease that might interfered with the regular operation of the air valve. The valve’s flushing and cleaning frequency depends on sewage and wastewater characteristics and dirt- load. -

• Pull out the seal assembly [A] and replace the seal [B]. Figure - Replacing the seals - C • Reassemble the air valve in reverse order. • Tighten the four side cover bolts to 25 N-m torque. • Reopen the isolation valve. If during the periodic maintenance procedure, signs of wear and tear are found on the air valve components, please refer to the Disassembling the air valve chapter of this document. -
Page 19: Troubleshooting
Check and remove foreign objects. Clean the valve’s internal parts, replace if necessary. Consult Bermad if the symptom continues. Disassembling the air valve Perform the following stages when a complete disassembly of the air valve is required: 1. -
Page 20: Figure 14 - Disassembling The Air Valve - A
3. Slowly open the drainage valve, or the ball valve, located on the lower side of the air valve body, make sure that the pressure is released; take extra care while releasing the hazardous, high energy, compressed gas. 4. Make sure that the air valve is completely empty from liquids before starting the maintenance process. -
