Not to be confused with choke valves used in industrial flow control.
A type of check valve used in the siamese fire appliance to allow only 1 hose to be connected instead of two the clapper valve blocks the other side from leaking out.

The third type of air valve is the combination air valve which contains the functions of both the air vacuum and air release valves.
A combination air valve can be furnished either as a single body design where a singlebody contains both air release and air vacuum components or as a dual body design figure 6 where an air release valve.
About half as wide as a schrader valve and.

Diaphragm valves separate the flow of water from the closure element.
Butterfly valves permit flow in only one direction.

This type of pneumatic valve classification refers to the manner in which air flow direction is switched.
It can cost.
