  8. Definitions • Sewage Air Release Valves - specially designed for sanitary sewer systems. The float allows the build up of gas to escape the pipeline while preventing media spillage or spurting. The valves are designed to vent large volumes of air when sewage line is filled and small amounts of air during normal operation. Only opens to entrapped air and closes once liquid levels rise. • Sewage Air/Vacuum - valves utilize 2 floats, each connected to common stem guided through a bushing. Vents large volumes of air when sewage line is filled and vents during negative pressure to prevent vacuum. Once valve is closed and system pressurized valve will not open to release air or wastewater gas. • Sewage Combination Air Valves - only way to both vent and admit air. Can vent large volumes of air when the sewage line is filled and allow air to re-enter when draining to prevent vacuum or column separation from occurring. The valve also vents small pockets of air during normal operation. • Single body configurations are more economical, compact, less likely to freeze, tamper resistant • Dual body configurations more complex for large systems, allow partial operation during maintenance
