General The BERMAD C10 / C11 is a high quality combination Air Valve for a variety of water networks and operating conditions. It evacuates air during pipeline filling, allows efficient release of air pockets from pressurized pipes, and enables large volume air intake in the event of network draining.

Installation Typical Applications Main Irrigation Networks – Air relief, protection against air accumulation and vacuum formation downstream of pumps, along supply lines and at elevations in main irrigation networks. Irrigation Control Heads – Air relief, protection against air accumulation and vacuum formation in filtration and fertilization stations and downstream of main control valves.
Installation instructions Install the Air Valve as close as possible to the pipe, at a high point of its circumference, in vertical position (within 5 degrees of vertical alignment) and with its inlet facing down. The diameter of the pipe connecting the Air Valve with the pipeline should be at least equal to the Air Valve inlet diameter.
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 upward causes the kinetic orifice to close. The unique aerodynamic structure of the valve body and float ensures that the float cannot be closed before water reaches the valve.
Surge Protection (Anti-slam) The anti-slam device (SP) is fitted to the Air Valve outlet. In the event of pressure surge, it partially closes the valve's outlet. The approaching water column decelerates due to the resistance of the rising air pressure in the valve. Inflow Prevention The inflow prevention (IP) is a Normally Closed check device fitted on the valve's outlet and preventing flow...
Valve does Verify that the operation pressure does not release air not exceed the valve's rated working or allow air intake pressure. Check and removed foreign objects, Clean the valve's internal parts, replace if necessary. Consult BERMAD if the symptom continues.
Disassembling C10 / C11 (sizes ¾ - 1" / DN25 DN50) 1. Release the valve’s cover (Part #2) by turning it counterclockwise, un-screw and remove it from the valve’s base (Part #1). Make sure that the valve parts, seated within the cover do not fall out of the cover.
Fig. A (C10) Fig. A (C11) upward. See figure A. 2. For C10 (sizes ¾ - 1" / DN20 DN25). a. Wet the new peal seal (Part #5) with clean water. Use the Insertion Assistance Handle and insert the peal seal (Part #5) to its designated Fig.
