Description
The FOX 3F-RFP C model is a high-performance single-chamber full bore automatic combination air valve, featuring an integrated fast-filling prevention system. It enables the release of air pockets under pressure during operation and allows the intake of large volumes of air during pipeline draining or bursting, preventing negative pressure. When air discharges at high speed and differential pressure increases, the anti-surge RFP disk closes, reducing the outflow and avoiding a sudden mobile block closure that could cause water hammer. Fully made of ductile cast iron with a stainless steel air release system and sealing seat, FOX 3F-RFP C stands out for its reliability and durability.
