Two Air Valves on an Air Trap with separate Isolating Valves. Air 
Valve outlets face outward and the Isolating Valves at 45° to Air 
Valve outlets 

Two Air Valves on a shared Isolating Valve. Air Valves outlets face 
outward and the Isolating Valve at 45° to Air Valve outlets

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Underground Installations 

 

Underground installations require a venting pipe from the 
manhole 

 

Use  an  angular  installation  to  bypass  an  obstacle  directly 
above the pipeline.
