Air relief valves freely allow air into a zone after shut down. It also ensures a vacuum within non Anti Siphon dripperline system doesn’t suck debris or dirt back in to the dripperline. It also provides a means of releasing air from the dripperline when the zone is turned on, eliminating air pockets and speeding up the dripperline operation.

Install Air Relief Valve at the highest point in the drip system.

Ensure that all of the rows of Dripperline can take advantage of the Air/Vacuum Relief Valve; install it/them along a lateral that runs perpendicular to the dripperline laterals. This may be a collecting manifold, or a special lateral connecting all rows of dripperline, such as going over a mound.
