H-Tec air release valves with zero leakage provide superior performance compared to traditional air release valves. The valve includes an infinitely variable orifice, providing air release and vacuum break functionality, making standardization easy. Compared to conventional air release valves, the H-Tec valve is much easier to maintain due to its lightweight design and fewer moving parts.

Unlike traditional air release valves, which require 3 PSI pressure to close fully, the H-Tec valve closes on zero pressure. This improves valve performance, eliminates valve leakage, and removes debris from the orifice. 

In addition, air in the force main can cause the pump to operate erratically or cavitate. This results in premature wear and tear of the pump and other system components. A properly functioning air release valve prevents these issues by continuously releasing excess air from the system, allowing the liquid to flow smoothly and efficiently.

Maintaining an air release system on a force main is crucial for ensuring the pumping systems’ optimal performance and efficiency.

Many municipalities have a variety of air release valves in their collection system with different brands, types, and models with no common parts and no standardization. As a result, many of these valves are clogged, are not functioning correctly, and are difficult to maintain.

If you are considering replacing or upgrading your air release valves, look at the H-Tec air release valves with zero leakage. They eliminate many of the problems associated with traditional air release valves.

  • Innovative Design – Large body, beveled bottom, smooth interior surface, and debris shield for prolonged time between cleaning.
  • Non-Leaking – Drip tight sealing even at 0 psi pressure eliminating leakage common in traditional valves.
  • Easy Maintenance – The working parts of the valve are easily removed through the top, and the cup seal is simple and easy to replace.
  • Light Weight – At only 35 lbs, the SST valves weigh much less than a traditional air release valve making installation and maintenance much easier. The plastic valve weighs only 13.5 lbs.
  • Versatile – The same H-Tec air valve functions as both an air release valve and a combination air/vacuum breaker and can be used at many similar locations.
  • Simplifies Spare Parts Inventory – Using the same type of valve at every location simplifies inventory.
