Choosing the Right Air Release Valve – Sizing and Selection
One-size-fits-all is not the right way of thinking when selecting air and vacuum valves and air release valves. In fact, choosing the wrong size valve can negate the purpose of an air valve completely.
Air valves are hydro-mechanical valves designed to automatically release or admit air during the filling or draining of a piping system. Air comes out of a pipeline because of low-pressure zones created by partially open valves, variations in flow velocity, and pipeline system elevation changes. An air pocket collected in a system high points will reduce the flow of water in a pipeline by reducing the flow area and, in severe cases, completely air bind the pipeline and stop the flow of water. Air pockets in pipelines are difficult to detect and reduce the pipeline system’s overall efficiency due to additional head loss and increased power consumption required to pump the water.
Proper sizing of air and vacuum valves is an essential factor to consider when installing a new system or repairing an older one. Doing a little background research on your operation and following a few simple equations will alleviate future headaches and potential catastrophe from the wrong size or type of air/vacuum valves.

The Importance of Stretching Your Abilities and Strengths
Growth stops when you lose tension between who you are and who you want to be. Think of a rubber band. The purpose of a rubber band is to stretch in order to hold things together. An unstretched rubber band is worthless. So if you have not been stretched for a period of time, then you won’t be very effective. Here are the two main reasons why it’s important to stretch personally and professionally.
Stretching gets you out of your comfort zone
The comfort zone is described as doing the same things with the same people at the same time and getting the same results and continually asking
Newly published changes to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, the drinking water product standard required in the United States and Canada, further restrict the amount of lead that can leach from plumbing products, reported the press release.
The significantly more rigorous requirements were approved after nearly three years of exploring various testing methods to reduce lead leaching from endpoint devices that dispense drinking water, as well as from other plumbing components.
