LG-517 AIR RELEASE VALVE
Air Release Valve – Automatic Air Release Valve for Fire Sprinkler Systems | LIFEGUARD
Air Release Valve
The LIFEGUARD Air Release Valve is a high-performance automatic valve designed to efficiently remove trapped air from fire sprinkler piping systems. By eliminating accumulated air pockets, the valve helps maintain optimal water flow, improves system efficiency, minimizes corrosion risks, and enhances the overall reliability of fire protection systems.
Engineered with precision and manufactured using high-quality corrosion-resistant materials, the LIFEGUARD Air Release Valve is suitable for wet pipe, pre-action, and deluge fire sprinkler systems where trapped air can reduce operational performance. Its automatic operation ensures continuous air evacuation without manual intervention, making it an essential component for modern fire protection installations.
Designed to meet the demanding requirements of commercial, industrial, residential, and institutional fire safety systems, the LIFEGUARD Air Release Valve provides long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Product Overview
Air trapped inside sprinkler piping can create air pockets that reduce water flow efficiency, contribute to corrosion, and affect the overall performance of a fire protection system. The LIFEGUARD Air Release Valve is designed to automatically vent this trapped air while preventing water leakage during normal system operation.
Installed at strategic high points within the sprinkler piping network, the valve continuously removes accumulated air as the system fills with water or during regular operation. This helps maintain consistent water distribution, reduces maintenance requirements, and extends the service life of the fire protection system.
Its compact design and reliable internal mechanism make it an ideal solution for new installations as well as retrofit fire sprinkler projects.

How the Air Release Valve Works
The LIFEGUARD Air Release Valve operates automatically to remove trapped air from sprinkler piping systems.
Operating Process
The sprinkler system fills with water during commissioning or operation.
Trapped air naturally rises to the highest points in the pipeline.
The Air Release Valve automatically opens to vent the accumulated air.
Once water reaches the valve, the internal float mechanism seals the outlet.
The system continues operating without unnecessary water discharge.
Continuous air removal improves hydraulic performance and system reliability.
