    IOM D-025 3. OPERATION When the system is charged and the pipeline begins to fill, the water flowing in the pipeline enters into the combination air valve, raising the air/ vacuum and air release floats to their sealing position. During filling, air is discharged mainly through the air/ vacuum orifice as well as small amounts of air released through the air release orifice.
