ARI has become a major player in the South African air release and intake market. As the single largest air valve manufacturer in the world with very innovative designs, ARI Have now designed their version of a three stage “non-slam” air valve to compete in the SA market. This valve has been fully tested and has been sold in SA since 2000 with great success.

Here are some of the major benefits of the ARI Air valves:

• Large orifice with capacities exceeding most manufactures.
• Optional Non-slam element is outside the pressure body so no extra seals are incorporated.
• Small orifice for high pressure venting is at least 10 x larger than competition.
• Small orifice has a self cleaning effect, so seldom blocks up.
• Unique seal design allows sealing at low pressure of 2m.
• Unique seal design eliminates leakages - 10 Year Guarentee against seal leaks.
• Sewage air valves eliminates sewage fouling the sealing mechanism.
