Installation of Air Valves
How to install Air valves
There are various types of air valves and the most popular are
the Pro model that simply push into the plenum.
The air supply valves that are angled internally for air supply.
The air extract valves have a variable bevel for extracting air.
The airflow is adjusted by screwing the air valve in or
out to reach the desired airflow rate. (See balancing and
commissioning).
After the airflow is set, tighten the attached nut with a 10mm
spanner to secure setting.
Metal Air Valves
Optional Metal Air valves normally have a frame that you install into
the plenum or pipe first, then fasten the air valve to the frame with a
half turn clockwise.
The valve is adjusted by screwing the valve in or out and then
locking with provided nuts.
Designer Air Valves
Optional designer air valves can be used for both air supply and
extract and can be installed flush to the wall or ceiling.
To install the designer valve, you will require a mounting frame and
a airflow regulator installed in the pipe or plenum. (Available through
BPC).
Foam flow control dampers
Optional foam dampers can be used either with or without an air
valve to provide improved attenuation and air control.
Insert the foam damper inside the pipe or plenum before the air
valve or designer valve and remove the inserts until the desired
airflow is achieved.
