RGX FOR SEWAGE & EFFLUENT
Cutting-edge air valve solutions that deliver reliable performance in harsh sewage and effluent environments.
“Anti-Surge” Sewage Air Release & Vacuum Break Valves
The Vent-O-Mat RGX Series represents a major advancement in air valve technology for sewage and effluent systems. Designed to withstand the challenges of pipelines that transport solids, fats, oils, and other viscous materials, the RGX ensures continuous and efficient air release, vacuum protection, and surge alleviation.
Traditional air valves often struggle in sewage applications due to blockages caused by solid and sticky substances. Over time, these blockages can lead to unhygienic leaks, health risks, and damage to the pipeline infrastructure. The Vent-O-Mat RGX valve is engineered specifically to overcome these limitations, offering a maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant, and durable solution for wastewater networks.
The RGX sewage air valve is purpose-built for wastewater treatment plants, effluent discharge systems, and municipal sewage pipelines. Its innovative design prevents clogging and ensures consistent functionality even under the most demanding conditions. By combining advanced materials and a unique operational concept, the RGX valve guarantees long-term reliability and system efficiency.
Constructed from high-quality corrosion and erosion-resistant materials, the RGX valve performs exceptionally well in environments with abrasive or chemically aggressive substances. It is a cost-effective solution that minimizes downtime, reduces maintenance requirements, and extends the lifespan of the entire pipeline system.
Key
Features
Proven Performance and Functionality
The Vent-O-Mat RGX Series incorporates features that provide automatic vacuum protection, efficient air discharge, and integrated surge alleviation. Each valve is tested under real-world conditions to ensure dependable operation and verified performance.
Vacuum Protection
The RGX valve features a large orifice diameter equivalent to the nominal valve size, allowing unrestricted airflow during draining operations. This ensures rapid air intake, minimizing the risk of negative pressure and pipeline collapse.
Effective Air and Gas Discharge
Regardless of flow velocity or pipeline configuration, the RGX valve ensures efficient de-aeration through two discharge orifices. This feature prevents air pockets that can cause flow restrictions, water hammer, or pressure surges.
Integrated Surge Protection
Surge and water hammer are major concerns in sewage pipelines. The RGX valve includes an integral surge alleviating mechanism that automatically dampens surge pressures, protecting pipelines, fittings, and downstream equipment from damage.
Maintenance-Free Operation
Unlike conventional valves that require frequent cleaning, the RGX operates without mechanical intervention. Its self-cleaning mechanism and non-clogging design significantly reduce operational costs and ensure hygienic performance.
Third-Party Tested and Certified
All Vent-O-Mat RGX selection data has been validated through independent third-party testing, ensuring compliance with industry standards and reliable, verifiable performance for all applications.
The Vent-O-Mat RGX Series is ideally suited for:
- Municipal sewage and wastewater systems
- Effluent treatment and discharge lines
- Industrial waste pipelines
- Slurry and sludge transfer systems
- Gravity-fed and pressurised sewer mains
Its versatility and robust design make it a trusted choice for utilities, engineers, and municipalities seeking efficient air management and surge protection solutions for wastewater applications.
The Vent-O-Mat RGX “Anti-Surge” Sewage Air Release and Vacuum Break Valve is available in nominal sizes from DN25 (1″) to DN300 (12″), supporting maximum operating pressures of up to PN20 (300 psi). This range accommodates a wide variety of pipeline diameters and pressure conditions, ensuring flexibility across different system designs.
For specialised applications, valves can be custom configured to meet unique operational requirements.
With a proven track record in air valve innovation, Vent-O-Mat continues to lead the way in pipeline protection technology. The RGX Series delivers a balance of efficiency, durability, and ease of maintenance, making it a preferred choice for wastewater engineers and system designers worldwide.
