RC Ductile Valves for Irrigation Systems

RC DUCTILE VALVES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

Vent-O-Mat RC – Ductile Iron Air Release Valves for Irrigation Systems 

Lightweight. Durable. Reliable Air Control for Irrigation Applications. 

The Vent-O-Mat RC Series represents a robust and efficient range of air release and vacuum break valves specifically designed for irrigation systems operating in harsh outdoor environments. Manufactured from cast ductile iron and fully epoxy-coated, the RC valves offer long-term corrosion resistance, making them ideal for agricultural and irrigation networks exposed to varying climatic and soil conditions. 

Engineered to deliver reliable air management and surge protection, the RC range is available in two configurations: 

  • DN25 Single-Acting Small Orifice Air Valve – designed for precise air release in small volumes, not suitable for vacuum service. 
  • DN50 Double-Acting Air Valve – supports high-volume air discharge during pipeline filling, pressurised air release during operation, and high-volume air intake during draining or scouring. 

Compact yet powerful, the RC valve combines simplicity with performance. Its design is based on the proven Vent-O-Mat engineering principle, which responds instantly to pipeline dynamics, ensuring optimal protection and efficient air flow control. The lightweight construction allows for easy installation and maintenance while maintaining high durability under demanding irrigation conditions. 

Designed for systems requiring dependable air release, vacuum prevention, and surge control, the Vent O Mat RC Series continues DFC’s legacy of excellence in air valve technology for water management and irrigation infrastructure.
