BERMAD K10 is a high quality Kinetic air valve for a
variety of irrigation networks and operating conditions.
It evacuates air during pipeline filling and enables large
volume air intake in the event of network draining.
With its advanced aerodynamic design and Kinetic
orifice, this valve provides excellent protection against
vacuum formation with improved sealing at low
pressure.
This document is the Installation, Operation and
Maintenance manual (IOM) of this valve; it describes the
procedures required for proper usage of the valve.
Since air valves operate in pressurized water networks
and sewage systems you are required to carefully read
this manual before using the valve. Handle the valve
with care and make sure to comply with all the relevant
required safety instructions and standards, general and
local.

Unpacking and post shipment inspection
■Make sure that till the actual installation the valve
remains dry and clean in its original package.
■Unpack the valve and make sure that all the wrapping
materials are removed.
■Before installation it is necessary to inspect that no
damage to the valve had occurred during shipment;
do not install a damaged valve!
■Verify that the valve to be installed meets the design
specifications of the specific installation site;
take extra care and make sure that the expected
system pressure complies with the pressure rating of
the valve.
■Air Valves located above ground should be protected
from freezing, contamination and vandalism.
■If the valve is to be installed in a pit, make sure that
the pit has proper drainage and sufficient dimensions
for servicing the valve.
■Flush the pipeline prior to the Air Valve installation in
order to prevent damage to the valve internals due
to large debris carried by the water during startup.
Site Preparation
7
■Main irrigation networks - Air relief and vacuum
prevention downstream of pumps, along supply lines
and at elevations in main irrigation networks.
■Irrigation control head – Air relief and vacuum
prevention at filtration and fertilization stations.
■Infield systems – Prevention of vacuum formation.
■Landscape irrigation – Prevention of vacuum formation.
Typical Applications
Installation
■The K10 air valve is not to be used in systems
containing high suspended solids; consider
selecting other Bermad Air Valve models for
such water type.
8
■Install the Air Valve as close as possible to the pipe,
at a high point of its circumference, in vertical position
(within 5 degrees of vertical alignment) and with its inlet
facing down.
■The diameter of the pipe connecting the Air Valve
with the pipeline should be at least equal to the Air
Valve inlet diameter.
■Install a shutoff valve between the air valve and
the pipeline for allowing easy inspection and
maintenance.
