Potter has just announced the only UL-listed air vent for fire sprinkler systems in the industry. Reducing the amount of air in a fire sprinkler system is essential to help protect the system piping from the effects of corrosion that is often found at the air/water interface in the fire sprinkler system piping.
The newly updated Potter Automatic Air Release (PAAR-B) utilizes the PAV and automatically eliminates air trapped in pressurized sprinkler systems.
The Potter Air Vent (PAV) is listed for Fire Sprinkler Branch line applications per UL subject 2573 -- "Automatic Air Release Valves for Fire Protection Service".
