OverviewBERMAD C30-P is a combination air valve designed for water distribution pipelines. It evacuates air during filling, discharges trapped air pockets under pressure and admits large air volumes during pipeline draining. The valve features a double-orifice aerodynamic design and an optional Surge Protection (SP) or Inflow Prevention (IP) device for enhanced transient control.
Key features & benefits- Double-orifice design: fast air release and large-volume air intake.
- Straight-flow body with equal nominal inlet and outlet for improved flow capacity.
- Dynamic sealing effective at low pressures (1.5 psi / 0.1 bar) to prevent leakage.
- Threaded side outlet 2" (DN50) for connection of SP/IP devices.
- Compact construction with fully corrosion-resistant internal parts for reduced maintenance.
- Optional SP/IP devices for surge and inflow control.
- Factory-tested performance, including vacuum condition testing.
Certifications & compliance- Functional standards: WRAS (UK), EN‑1074‑4 (Europe), SAI AS4956 and WSAA (Australia), PUB SS 375 / SS 270 (Singapore).
- Designed in compliance with AWWA C512 (USA).
- Drinking water approvals: WRAS, ACS (France), NSF‑ANSI‑CAN 61, NSF‑ANSI 372 (USA), SAI AS4020 (Australia).
Typical applications- Pipelines: protection against air accumulation and vacuum at high points, slope changes and crossings.
- Water distribution networks: air management during filling, operation and draining.
- Installed near control valves and water meters to avoid pressure regulation errors and biased readings caused by air.
Construction & materials- Body material: Glass Reinforced Nylon.
- Fully corrosion-resistant internal components.
- Compact, service-friendly structure for easier maintenance.
