The combination air valve integrates the functions of both air/vacuum and air release valves. It automatically expels large volumes of air during system start-up, admits air when internal pressure drops below atmospheric levels, and continuously releases small pockets of air during operation. This dual-action functionality ensures maximum protection and efficiency for pressurized piping systems.
