Developing a product range to meet the standards of new technology is something that is inherently important for T-T Flow®, a valve manufacturer based in Cheshire.

The already established Aquabrake® range of air valves has seen much advancement over the years and the latest generation aims to solve another problem, further removing past limitations associated with a traditional air valve.

Designed with protection, safety and efficiency in mind, the double orifice Aquabrake® automatically allows the discharge of bulk air during the charging phase, entrance of bulk air during the draining phase and controlled discharge of small pockets of accumulated Aquaflow Valves Tel: 01630 647111 Email: info@aquaflowvalves.com Web: www.aquaflowvalves.com air; ensuring not only a productive and secure system but one that can provide reliable protection against the potentially catastrophic effects of entrained gases and vacuum formation.

The innovative addition to the range boasts three configurations; double orifice, double orifice with rapid fill protection and double orifice with anti-surge protection. The two latter configurations protect systems that are liable to the damaging effects of water hammer as the state-of-the-art rapid fill protection model or antisurge version controls the discharging air rate within a safe limit. The new models also benefit from a revolutionary aerodynamic lightweight single chamber body, deformation resistant solid plastic floats and proven stainless steel engineered small orifice. The new generation of the Aquabrake® is also fully WRAS approved, having undergone stringent testing to comply with the regulations required for potable drinking water applications.

The Aquabrake® range is available in a wide range of sizes from 1˝BSP to DN200 rated to PN40. For aggressive fluids or environments and wastewater applications the Aquabrake® is also available in a stainless steel bodied version.
