Air release bolts help you complete that function and bring several benefits along the way that can affect the performance, durability, and life of your mechanical assembly. The first important advantage has to do with the increase in efficiency of a system by removing air pockets that can cause pressure variations and water hammer effects. This way, it provides a stable operation and minimal potential of damaging the pipeline and related apparatus.

Additionally, vacuum conditions that can lead to collapsing of the pipelines or cavitation which damages pumps and other components in your system are prevented. When activated, these air release bolts let air into the system, preventing these damaging effects.

This reduction in maintenance cost and downtime is also aided by the presence of air-release bolts. They squeeze out trapped air over and over again, ensuring the system pressure is at its optimal level, reducing wear on components and increasing serviceability.
